When Do I Need a CCTV Drain Survey?

If you’re at the point where you’ve tried every single thing you can to unblock your drains and you’re getting nowhere fast, then now is the time you need to consider a CCTV drain survey. At East of Scotland Drainage we provide CCTV drain surveys as part of our suite of services, we’re trained to carry them out and we know they are efficient in discovering blockages that would otherwise remain a mystery. Once we know what we’re dealing with we can find a solution and rid your drains of the blockage. 

You can have a CCTV Drain Survey even when there’s no blockage

There are other times when you can carry out a Drain Survey and it doesn’t have be when you’ve had a blockage. If you’re thinking of moving and you’ve seen a house you want to buy, then it makes sense to have the drains investigated prior to signing and moving in so you’re not paying for someone else’s blocked drains. You’ll have to pay to have the drains repaired if you wait to check them until after you’ve bought the property. By doing it before you buy, then it’s up to the seller to sort out the problem before you move in. 

Annual checks mean that small issues don’t become large expensive ones

It also makes sense to have a CCTV Drain Survey carried out as part of normal checks on your property, prevention is better than cure and if you carry one out on an annual basis as part of your routine then you can catch problems before they become something far more serious requiring further investigation and expensive repairs. By checking early on you can have simple issues repaired cheaply but leave them to fall into disrepair then you’re talking a lot of money to have them fixed.

What does a CCTV Drain Survey entail?

For a CCTV Drain Survey to be carried out a drainage engineer has to come to your home, and after a quick conversation about your drains, he will place a camera down the drain so he can get a good view of the inside. It is at this stage that any unusual blockages will be identified. He’ll report back to you what he’s discovered in his survey and make recommendations of what needs to be done to resolve it. This will involve either a good clean or repairs. You can choose to resolve the issue that day or the engineer or a team of engineers can come at a later date to carry out the work.
