CCTV Drain Surveys in Crownhill

The bulk of what we attend in Crownhill is fat, wipes and silt in the usual places. The jobs that surprise people are the structural ones — an open joint that has been letting roots in for a decade, or a section crushed by a driveway that was laid straight over a shallow pipe.

A drain survey is simply a camera on a flexible rod pushed through your pipework while an engineer watches the screen. What makes it useful is the interpretation. Anyone can film a pipe; knowing whether that hairline mark is a surface scratch or the start of a fracture is the part you are paying for.

We run surveys across Crownhill for three main reasons. Buyers and their solicitors want to know what they are taking on before contracts are exchanged. Insurers and warranty providers want evidence before they will consider a claim. And homeowners with a drain that keeps blocking want to stop treating the symptom.

You get the footage, a written report with the defects located and measured from a fixed point, and a straight recommendation. If the answer is "it is fine, clean it every few years", that is what the report will say. We would rather tell you that than sell you a repair you do not need.
