CCTV Drain Survey In Southampton

A blocked drain

oftentimes, you know there is a problem with your drainage system as water is not flowing properly or is backing up and overflowing the sink or toilet. But the source and location of the drain blockage may not be obvious, which makes clearing it more difficult than it needs to be.

In these circumstances, it is useful to conduct a CCTV Drain Survey In Southampton which will not only be able to actually pinpoint the location of the problem but will also be able to accurately identify the nature of the debris that is causing the problem, making it easier to select the correct solution.

A leak in the drain pipe:

water is very invasive, and it only needs the smallest of holes in the drainage pipework or a loose joint for water to seep out along joists and framework to eventually invade plasterboard on the walls and ceilings.

The first time you notice something will be a damp smell in the air that you cannot identify as the source of, then watermarks on the walls or along the joins in the plasterboard. A bulge appearing in the ceiling can be a serious problem and will need immediate action before the ceiling falls into the room.

All these problems might be seen some distance from the actual source of the problem and, without a CCTV drain survey, could take a lot of time and maximum disruption to find.

As part of a house survey

buying a house is an exciting time but can also be worrying when you are not aware of its maintenance and repair history.

Conducting a CCTV drain survey can give you peace of mind as you can discover any underlying problems with the drainage system before you commit to the sale or at least before you move in, ensuring there are no nasty surprises before you’ve even unpacked your belongings and put them at risk of water damage.

Tree root removal

roots naturally seek water and will grow towards drainage pipes, especially if there is even the tiniest of leaks around a joint.

Roots are also signal-minded in their direction of travel and will grow around pipes, push against them, lift them out of position, and in the process, often loosen joints or make cracks in the plastic or ceramic material.

And once a crack is made, they will find themselves inside the pipe, causing leaks and blockages. A CCTV camera survey will identify where roots have found their way into the pipe and the level and location of the damage caused.

What is the CCTV Drain Inspection Process?

The drain inspection process starts by sending a high-resolution CCTV camera down the drain. Access will be gained via an inspection manhole, and from here, using flexible rods, the CCTV camera is maneuvered through the entire drainage system.

At Pro Drainage, we also use WIN CAN software which not only allows the CCTV technician to see “live” images from within the drain itself but also feeds back this information to other engineers who can help in diagnosis and comparison with past survey results.

Along with the live video footage of the drains, our engineers produce a highly detailed report following the CCTV drain inspection, which includes CAD drawings and video stills highlighting specific areas of interest, including recommendations for any remedial work that may be required.

Our engineers don’t leave it there. Occasionally further works are necessary, such as tree root removal or other more specialist repairs. With your agreement, we organize to conduct any remedial work on your behalf using our highly trained team of experienced professionals.

Our in-house experts can also provide you with advice on how to prevent drain blockages in the future, including recommending regular preventative maintenance.
