When summer heat scorches Kingston Upon Thames, it’s not just gardens that suffer—your underground drain system does too.
At Kingston Upon Thames Drains24, we’ve seen a sharp rise in calls for drain unblocking during dry spells. Why? Because drought conditions create the perfect storm for drain damage.
🌱 How Dry Weather Damages Drain Pipes
In prolonged heat, the soil contracts and shifts. This movement can:
- Crack or misalign older clay or pitch fibre pipes
- Create small openings where water leaks
- Invite tree roots to break in seeking moisture
Once roots get inside, they grow fast—causing partial or total blockages, especially in older homes around Surbiton, Norbiton, Coombe, and Kingston Hill.
🔍 Warning Signs to Watch For:
- Slow-draining sinks or showers
- Gurgling toilets
- Bad smells from external drains
- Overflowing or damp areas in your garden
Ignoring these signs could result in major pipe damage, leading to expensive emergency repairs.
