We were in Bearsden recently because a customer had noticed that their homes drains were getting slower ie. the water was draining down the plug hole very slowly.
On investigation, they discovered that waste water was bubbling our from a gully trap in the garden.
Clearly this was a drainage problem. So what did they do? They called in the professionals.
They called our call center team and booked in a time slot that fitted with their schedule.
We arrived at the property at the agreed time and began investigating the problem. When we lifted the gully trap chamber to inspect things in more detail, we found this…..

A significant plant root system had found its way into the drainage system and blocked the drain.
It wasn’t a simple lifting out of the roots either. We have to clear the drains with the pressure jetting machine to ensure that all the roots were properly removed.
We have worked in drain repairs for a long time but we must admit – this was an impressive root system.
While the summer may be over, you may have noticed your home drainage system is not draining away the water quickly enough. If so, maybe you have a root system problem as well.
Call JSL Drainage today to investigate.
