Misconnection Investigations
We investigate and confirm drainage misconnections, so pipework can be corrected and problems stopped for good.
Suspect a Drainage Misconnection? Here's How We Help
A misconnection is when a pipe, appliance, or drainage run is connected to the wrong system, and it can cause persistent odours, repeat blockages, flooding, and compliance headaches that routine cleaning never fully fixes.
Our engineers will map your site's drainage, inspect access points for tell-tale signs, and use dye testing or CCTV to confirm exactly what's connected where. We'll provide clear recommendations for correcting the misconnection and preventing it happening again.
Contact our friendly team by calling 0203 870 1067 or sending an email to contactus@icedrainage.co.uk to learn more about our misconnection investigation services.
