Drainage Jetting & CCTV Camera Survey

Echo Square Services recently completed the drainage jetting and mechanical cleaning of a concrete rainwater tank and its associated blocked pipework in the basement of a multi-story building in Kensington.

The building is currently an active building site due to the entire property undergoing a full refurbishment converting it from a residential dwelling to a high-end hotel.

Therefore, safety was of paramount importance while working in close proximity of other contractors.

Full confined spaces entry was required into the water tank ensuring our pipe jetting works could be carried out safely.

Why was drainage jetting required?

The existing concrete water tank was installed over 40 years ago and required extensive cleaning and jetting prior to it being repurposed.

The existing blocked pipework lines had numerous concrete deposits which required removal utilising our mechanical cleaning methods.

Concrete had also solidified on the base of the tank which required mechanical removal. 

Drainage jetting and water tank cleaning process

Our operatives initially drained the water tank to allow safe entry into the tank.

Pipe cleaning was then carried out utilising our water jetting method, any solidified concrete which couldn’t be removed using high pressure water jets was removed mechanically utilising specialist concrete removal tools.

Once our operatives had unblocked all pipe work, we then completed the water tank clean, which involved removing all loose concrete and excess solidified concrete from the water tanks base.

Pipe CCTV camera survey

To highlight the progress of our works we completed a pipe camera survey of all pipework leading into the concrete tank.

All findings were compiled into a full completion report which included further recommendations for the customer to consider.

These recommendations included carrying out the internal pipe relining to help future proof the existing pipework.

We also recommended carrying out a full water tank reline of the existing concrete water tank to provide long term protection for when it’s eventually placed back into use

Had a cold water tank in the loft full of dust, wasp and flies. Tanks were cleaned to a very good standard, considering the awkwardness of the job. Very happy with the service

We were carrying out plumbing works on a site in London where we discovered a badly leaking GRP water tank, the Echo Square Services team attended site as quickly as possible to repair the leak and reline the tank. We will definitely contact them next time we are faced with a similar issue - would highly recommend.

We had a heavily leaking metal water tank above our office which was leaking through our ceiling, Echo Square Services repaired the leak and relined the tank just two days after we made the enquiry!

Arrived very quickly when the crisis developed in the 100-year-old water tanks in this Grade 1 listed building; did what looks a highly professional job (re-lining two hard to get at tanks in the roof) all in one day - which involved working really late - and were careful to make no mess and cause no damage. So far, it looks a great job at a reasonable cost.

Having used other companies in the past I can wholeheartedly say that our dealings with Nationwide Tank Relining have been a breath of fresh air. We have had tanks relined, water hygiene assessments and floor coatings. All work was carried out in a timely manner and the quality of work has each and every time been exemplary. My bosses are thrilled with my decision to switch to Nationwide Tank Relining and a tank that was relined 10 years ago by them still looks good as new internally, and the money we've saved from choosing the right supplier has proven to be a very smart business move. Highly recommended!
