Case study
Clinical Drainage Remediation at a Gateshead Veterinary Site
The rerouted waste connection after Black & White Property Services corrected the pipe fall.
The tub table was draining slowly and backing up through its waste connection. The initial instruction allowed for investigation and minor adjustment, while recognising that a deeper blockage or structural fault might require further work.

Diagnosis and approach
Black & White Property Services attended within the 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.
Work completed
- Inspected the tub table, u-bend and connected waste pipework.
- Identified inadequate pipe fall as the root cause.
- Core drilled a new outlet at a lower level.
- Rerouted and connected the waste pipework.
- Tested the drainage under use and checked for leaks or renewed backup.
- Left the clinical area clean, dry and operational.
Result
Testing confirmed free-flowing drainage with no further leakage or backing up. The repair was completed without specialist jetting or a return visit.
