Power Flushing in Morden
Systems in Morden that serve 1930s St Helier estate homes, older houses around Morden Park and flats near the Underground station often carry years of accumulated sludge, and hard water in this area adds scale. A flush can bring them back to proper working order.
Morden is in the London Borough of Merton, the Northern line terminus, with a large 1930s estate and Morden Hall Park on the Wandle.
Over time, heating water breaks down the iron in radiators and pipes and creates a thick black sludge. It settles at the bottom of radiators and clogs pipes and the boiler. The result is cold patches, noisy running and a boiler that works harder than it should.

Sludge is caused by corrosion inside the system, made worse by air, old water and the lack of inhibitor. Unfiltered systems collect it fastest. Morden Hall Park and the River Wandle are close, so homes nearby can have damp that is not a plumbing fault.
