Tricky Manhole Replacement Solves Ongoing Drain Blockages
Celtic Drains were recently called out multiple times to a property in Cornwall with recurring blocked drains. After thorough investigation, our team identified the root cause: a damaged concrete manhole chamber. Years of wear had caused the concrete surface to erode, creating a rough interior that caught debris and caused repeated blockages.
It’s a common issue we see across the region—older drainage systems beginning to fail due to age and material breakdown. In this case, a lasting fix was needed, not just another temporary clearance.
Old Concrete Manhole Out – New PVC Chamber In
We broke out the deteriorating concrete manhole and replaced it with a modern PVC plastic inspection chamber. These new systems offer smoother surfaces, are far more durable, and are less prone to future blockages—making them a reliable long-term solution.
This particular installation was a challenging one, due to restricted access and existing pipework alignment. But thanks to our experienced team and specialist tools, Celtic Drains got it done safely and efficiently, with minimal disruption to the surrounding area.
