When a drain keeps blocking, smells unpleasant or empties more slowly than it should, there may be a hidden problem inside the pipe.
Our CCTV drain surveys in Tonbridge let us see exactly what’s happening below ground. We can find the fault, explain it clearly and recommend the right course of action.
We use specialist camera equipment to inspect the inside of underground drains. This allows us to find cracks, root intrusion, displaced joints, scale, collapsed sections and stubborn obstructions without excavating simply to locate the issue.
Underground pipes aren’t generally examined as part of a standard property survey. A homebuyer drain survey can identify defects before contracts are exchanged, giving you a better understanding of the property and any drainage work it may need.
We inspect drainage systems for shops, offices, landlords, managing agents and other commercial customers. Surveys can help diagnose repeated problems, support a maintenance programme or record the drains’ condition before refurbishment.
Extensions and alterations can make existing drainage plans unreliable. We can trace accessible pipe runs, determine how different sections connect and locate the likely position of a blockage or damaged pipe.
The inspection usually begins at an existing chamber. We feed a flexible camera through the drainage run while viewing the footage in real time and recording signs of damage or restricted flow.
Not every fault is immediately obvious. A small dip in a pipe can leave standing water, while a slightly displaced joint may repeatedly catch paper and waste. These details help explain why some drains block again even after they’ve been thoroughly cleared.
Our surveys are suitable for homeowners, property buyers, landlords, businesses and building contractors. They’re useful for investigating recurring trouble, assessing drains before a house purchase or locating pipework ahead of an extension.
If the drain contains heavy deposits or is completely blocked, cleaning may be required before a full inspection can be completed. We’ll explain this and agree the cost with you first.
We have 20 years of practical drainage experience. This helps us interpret the footage accurately and recommend a proportionate response. Not every imperfection needs a repair; sometimes cleaning or occasional monitoring is enough.
