Clinical Drainage Remediation at a Gateshead Veterinary Site

Black & White Property Services attended within the recorded 24-hour response requirement. Inspection of the u-bend and connected pipework found that the original waste outlet was too high, leaving inadequate fall for reliable drainage.

Instead of treating the symptom, the team established a lower route through the supporting cabinetry and repiped the connection to create an effective gradient.

1. Inspected the tub table, u-bend and connected waste pipework.
2. Identified inadequate pipe fall as the root cause.
3. Core drilled a new outlet at a lower level.
4. Rerouted and connected the waste pipework.
5. Tested the drainage under use and checked for leaks or renewed backup.
6. Left the clinical area clean, dry and operational.

The Works Report records free-flowing drainage with no further leakage or backing up after testing. Specialist jetting and a return visit were not required for the recorded repair.
