If a drain has been cleared but keeps blocking again, there’s probably a reason further along the pipe.
Our CCTV drain surveys in Orpington allow us to inspect the system internally, find hidden faults and explain what needs to happen next. It’s accurate, minimally disruptive and removes the need for guesswork.
We guide a specialist camera through the drainage system to assess its internal condition. The footage can reveal cracks, displaced joints, root intrusion, heavy deposits, collapsed sections and objects trapped inside the pipe.
A standard homebuyer report won’t usually examine underground drainage in detail. Our surveys give prospective buyers a better understanding of the pipework before contracts are exchanged, including any defects that could lead to future repair costs.
We undertake drainage surveys for shops, offices, restaurants, landlords, managing agents and other commercial customers. An inspection can diagnose a current fault, support planned maintenance or record the condition of a system before refurbishment.
When drainage plans are missing, we can trace accessible pipe runs and establish how different sections connect. We can also locate the likely position of a defect, helping to keep any necessary repair work targeted.
We normally begin the inspection through an existing manhole or another suitable drainage access point. A flexible camera is fed through the pipe while our engineer watches the footage and checks the condition of the system.
Some faults are immediately obvious, such as a broken section or a mass of tree roots. Others are more subtle. A small lip at a joint, a dip in the pipe or waste repeatedly collecting in one place may be enough to cause regular blockages.
The service is suitable for homeowners, landlords, property buyers, businesses and building contractors. You may need a survey if a drain keeps blocking, there’s an unexplained smell or you want to check the drainage before buying or extending a property.
A heavily blocked drain may need to be cleaned before it can be surveyed properly. If that’s necessary, we’ll explain the reason and confirm the cost before carrying out the work.
We have 20 years of hands-on drainage experience. We don’t simply record the inside of the pipe and leave you with footage to decipher. Our engineer will explain what’s been found, how serious it is and whether cleaning, monitoring or repair work is appropriate.
Our customers value:
Orpington has a wide mix of older homes, post-war properties, extended houses and newer developments. Inspection chambers are sometimes hidden below paving or landscaping, while mature gardens can increase the risk of roots finding their way into damaged joints. We take the individual property and its surroundings into account.
We’ll ask about the symptoms, when they began and whether the drain has previously been cleaned or repaired.
Our engineer will identify a suitable chamber and check that the pipe is clear enough for the camera to travel through it.
The camera is guided along the pipe while we look for damage, obstructions, poor alignment and signs of restricted flow.
We’ll explain what the inspection has shown and recommend a sensible next step. We won’t suggest repair work where cleaning or observation would be enough.
