Having spent almost 20 years in the UK drainage industry, I thought it was about time I put what I’ve learned to good use. Many people have asked how they can deal with drainage problems themselves before having to call someone out, or expressed interest in how something works, such as equipment used or an aspect of their drains, so I made http://drainhub.uk to answer those questions and help people at a DIY level.
