Pipetek: Helping to Solve the Problem of Blocked Drains in Spain

PRLog (Press Release) - Aug 05, 2009 -
Blocked drains are unavoidable no matter where you live, however sometimes it can seem as though blocked drains in Spain are something of a regular occurrence; far more than in the UK. This is in part true: factors such as the hot climate, the building practices of some less than scrupulous builders and the prevalence of root ingress problems in pipes, all add up to an increase in blocked drains in Spain. Pipetek (www.pipetek.net) has been helping people to battle against this problem for years, up and down the coasts of Spain: from emergency call-outs, to general troubleshooting and education.
The building boom in the south of Spain over the last few years has been partly fuelled by greed, and this greed has led to some construction companies cutting corners in a bid to complete projects faster in order to move onto the next. As a result, there are an alarming number of properties in Spain (both new-builds and properties up to ten years old) that suffer from problems with their drainage and pipes due to shoddy workmanship. Drain clearing in Spain and on the Costa del Sol in particular (as one of the areas most hit by over construction) has become a fact of life for specialist companies such as Pipetek, with collapsing pipes or blocked underground cavities reeking havoc with the drainage system of a property.
Pipetek are also called upon to solve the problem of root ingress in pipes, a problem particularly prevalent in Spain due to the hot and dry climate. Faulty construction can play a part here too because faulty pipes that allow fluids to escape into the surrounding sub-soil can be the start of the problem (although pipes which are simply old and cracked can also be the underlying cause). The roots of any nearby tree are drawn to this leaked water and then into the pipe itself through the faulty joint or ageing crack. Once in the pipe, the root then expands which causes the blockage. Pipetek uses state-of-the-art CCTV equipment to track down the exact location of the root ingress so as to be able to quickly address the severity of the problem and act on it accordingly.
Blocked drains in Spain, just as anywhere in the world, can be down to any number of underlying causes, however the additional factors of poor construction and a hot climate (both of which also lead to properties with damp in Spain) can make maintaining good drainage of Spanish properties a little more challenging. Which explains the demand that keeps companies such as Pipetek, experts in drains, damp and water leaks in Spain, so busy throughout the year.
