A CCTV Drain Survey shows exactly what has caused any blockage or problem with your drains and allows us to give you the correct solution first time.
Fat, Oil and Grease Plugs
Cooking fat poured down kitchen sink drains. As it cools it sticks to the inner surface of the pipe. Over time this will fill up completely and restrict flow almost completely. A drain inspection camera will reveal a narrowed, grey-white drain pipe with a greasy coating. Proper unblocking of such blockages are best undertaken with a high pressure water jetter as opposed to using rods.
Displaced or Collapsed Pipe Sections
Blocked Drain Repairs: Pipe Damage Caused by Ground Movement or Traffic above Drain Line.
Broken Joints Letting Soil In
Where a joint in the drain pipes has cracked or pulled apart soil can wash into the pipe bore over time. A CCTV drain survey report will highlight such blockages and provide photographs to prove the extent of any damage. The soil enters the pipe through the gap in the joint and can build up rapidly to form a large mound of fine sediment within the pipe. Eventually this could cause the pipe to collapse completely.
Construction Debris
Construction debris can block a number of properties’ drains. The debris of construction can include everything from cement slurry to plaster and even rubble, which can all be washed down into a gully during building and then set hard in the pipes causing a blockage.

Misaligned Pipe Runs
Drainage pipes which sag or alter in direction can trap large amounts of solids, which would normally be flushed down the drain. It’s also worth noting that when it comes to drain responsibility, it is often not clear whether a homeowner or water company is responsible for repairing a misaligned section of pipe on a homeowner’s property.
