Background:
At B. Keenan Plumbing and Heating, we specialise in identifying and resolving plumbing issues that impact homeowners. Recently, we were contacted by a client who was experiencing persistent damp problems within their property. After a thorough inspection, we discovered that a cracked outside drain was allowing water to seep into the building.
The Challenge:
Damp issues caused by external drainage faults can lead to structural damage and unhealthy living conditions. The client needed a fast and effective solution to prevent further water ingress and protect their property.


Our Approach:
- Initial Inspection: Our team conducted a detailed assessment using advanced moisture detection tools. The inspection led us to a cracked drain outside the property, which was the primary source of the damp problem.
- Leak Detection and Diagnosis: Using CCTV drain survey equipment, we confirmed the exact location and extent of the damage. This non-invasive approach allowed us to develop a precise repair plan.
- Precision Repairs: We carefully excavated the affected section of the drain and replaced the cracked pipe with a high-quality, durable alternative. This ensured a long-lasting solution to the problem.
- Restoration and Prevention: After completing the repair, we ensured that the area was properly sealed and reinstated to prevent future water ingress. We also provided the client with advice on drain maintenance to avoid similar issues in the future.

Thanks to our effective leak detection and repair methods, the damp issue was fully resolved. The client’s property was protected from further water damage, and they were extremely satisfied with the professional and efficient service provided.
