Domestic CCTV Drain surveys

DOMESTIC CCTV SURVEYS

A drainage problem at home is never pleasant to deal with. It can mean backed-up sinks, foul smells drifting around the garden or a toilet that won’t flush properly, and these are all things that cause stress by striking at the worst possible time.

Before any repairs can take place, though, you need to know the exact cause of the problem. That’s where a domestic drain survey from our team at Express Drainage Solutions comes to save the day.

Using the latest CCTV camera technology, our experienced engineers can see precisely what’s happening inside your drains without lifting a single paving slab. Every domestic drain survey that we carry out results in a full digital report, complete with recorded footage so you know exactly what’s been found and what, if anything, needs to happen next to restore it.

What is a domestic drain survey?

A domestic drain survey uses waterproof, high-resolution CCTV cameras to inspect the full length of your drainage system then and there. As our cameras travel through the property pipework, our engineers record the continuous footage, allowing them to map the exact location of your drains while identifying any defects with real precision. We find this is the least destructive way to get to grips with what’s going on beneath your property, meaning no digging around randomly to find blockages.

Once complete, we give you a clear, easy-to-understand digital report along with a fixed quote for any of the repair or maintenance work we recommend. Then we let you decide what you’d like to do.

When might you need a domestic drain survey?

There are plenty of everyday scenarios where a domestic drain survey is the smart first step to fixing issues, including:

• Repeated blockages that come back no matter how many products you use to try and clear them.
• Slow-draining sinks, baths and toilets with no obvious explanation
• Unpleasant odours that indicate a leak, crack or damaged pipe joint.
• Buying a new home and wanting extra peace of mind before you exchange contracts.
• Planning for an extension or building work near or over an existing drain.
• For ageing properties where you want extra peace of mind regarding pipework.
