Building defects database - Blocked drain

Record details

	The inspection chamber was so full of soil it had converted itself to a virtual soakaway. The chamber bricks were loose and would be damaged when the soil is removed and drains cleared. In this case, I warned the client that a partial replacement of the drain and complete replacement of the inspection chamber may be required.
	By carefully pointing my camera along the drain on an automatic setting, I got this picture. This shows the resin impregnated liner.
