Customer in East Finchley
Happy Days Happy Drains.
There have been issues with our block's communal drain since 2017. Six blockages have resulted in dramatic floods that threatened to swamp the three basement flats in sewage. A different company couldn't do much as it was a 'communal drain', Thames Water couldn't do much as it wasn't 'their drain', the Residents Association wouldn't do much as they didn't want to spend much money - so had a prod with a rod every now and then. Happy Drains unblocked yet another block and importantly jet washed away troublesome, water flow slowing debris, and all for £150. Happy days Happy Drains!
