CCTV Drain Inspections

Where appropriate, CCTV technology allows the inside of drainage pipework to be inspected without unnecessary excavation.

This can help identify issues including:

  • Cracks and damaged pipes

  • Displaced joints

  • Blockages

  • Root ingress

  • Collapsed sections

  • Build up within pipework

  • Other potential drainage defects

Understand the Problem Before Carrying Out the Work

Accurate diagnosis can help avoid unnecessary disruption and expense.

By understanding the condition of the drainage system first, we can provide clearer advice about what action may be required.

Looking After Your Drains

Watch for Early Warning Signs

Slow draining sinks, baths or showers, unpleasant smells and recurring blockages can all indicate that something isn't working correctly within the drainage system.

Avoid Pouring Fat and Oil Down the Sink

Cooking fats and oils can cool and solidify within drainage pipework, contributing to restrictions and blockages over time.

Recurring Blockages May Need Further Investigation

If the same drain repeatedly becomes blocked, simply clearing it each time may not address the underlying cause.

Check Drainage Before Major Building Work

If you're planning significant renovation or extension work, understanding the location and condition of existing drainage can help avoid unexpected complications later.

Don't Ignore Unusual Smells

Persistent drainage smells can indicate a problem with pipework, traps or the drainage system and are worth investigating.

Consider a CCTV Inspection for Persistent Problems

Where the cause of a drainage problem isn't obvious, a CCTV inspection can provide a clearer picture of what's happening inside the pipework without unnecessary excavation.
