A drain that blocks more than once often has an underlying problem.
It could be a damaged joint, invading tree roots or a section of pipe that has shifted over time. Our CCTV drain surveys in Swanley provide a clear internal view of the system, helping us find the cause without unnecessary excavation.
We use specialist drainage cameras to examine underground pipes from the inside. The footage can reveal cracks, collapsed sections, root growth, scale, displaced joints and objects lodged within the drainage run.
The drains are easily overlooked when buying a home because they’re not usually covered in detail by a standard property survey. Our homebuyer surveys can uncover hidden defects before exchange, giving you useful information about the system’s condition.
We inspect drainage systems for shops, offices, industrial premises, landlords and managing agents. A commercial survey can diagnose an existing problem, assist with planned maintenance or document the condition of drains before building work.
Older plans don’t always show drainage routes accurately, particularly where a building has been extended. We can trace accessible pipe runs, establish how they connect and locate the likely position of underground defects.
Our engineer begins by locating a suitable access point, such as an inspection chamber. A flexible camera is then fed through the drain while the footage is viewed live.
We assess the general condition of the pipe, not just the most obvious fault. Small changes in alignment, standing water or deposits repeatedly collecting in one section can explain why a drain runs slowly or continues to block after being cleared.
The service is suitable for homeowners, buyers, landlords, property managers, businesses and building contractors. You might arrange an inspection to investigate recurring drainage trouble, check the system before purchasing a property or establish where drains run ahead of an extension.
For the camera to provide useful footage, the pipe must be reasonably clear. If there’s a complete blockage or heavy build-up, we may advise cleaning the drain first. Any extra work and costs will be explained before we proceed.
With 20 years of drainage experience, we know how to interpret what appears on screen and separate minor wear from defects that require attention. We’ll explain our findings in straightforward terms and recommend a proportionate solution.
Our customers benefit from:
Swanley includes older houses, newer estates and properties that have been extended or extensively landscaped. Inspection covers can sometimes be difficult to locate, while mature gardens may increase the chance of roots entering damaged joints. We assess each drainage layout on its own merits.
We’ll ask what you’ve noticed, which drains are affected and whether the pipework has previously been cleared or repaired.
Our engineer will locate the most appropriate chamber and check whether the system is ready for inspection.
The camera is guided through the drainage run while we look for blockages, damage, poor connections and signs of restricted flow.
We’ll talk you through the findings and outline any recommended action. Depending on what we see, this could involve cleaning, monitoring or a targeted repair.
We carry out drainage surveys throughout Swanley and the nearby communities of Hextable, Crockenhill, Farningham, Eynsford and Horton Kirby.
We also attend properties in South Darenth, Wilmington and surrounding parts of north-west Kent, covering homes, managed buildings and commercial premises.
It can identify cracks, collapsed pipes, displaced joints, tree roots, scale, trapped objects and sections where water or waste is collecting.
It can be a sensible precaution, particularly for an older property, a home with mature trees or somewhere with evidence of previous drainage issues.
The CCTV drain survey cost depends on the length of the drainage run, available access and whether cleaning is required first. We’ll provide clear pricing with no hidden charges.
We may be able to inspect as far as the obstruction. If the drain is completely blocked, it will usually need clearing before the full pipe can be examined.
Yes. We’ll explain the relevant findings in plain English and tell you whether further action is necessary.
Where required, suitable locating equipment can help establish the position of the camera and the underground fault, allowing repair work to be planned accurately.
