CCTV of underground drainage after drain unblocking

When Should I Consider A Drainage Survey?

This post is intended for domestic clients, however commercial clients are welcome to a survey if requested.

So the question is, when or why should i have a survey?

There are plenty of reasons but the most common is smells, over 90% of clients only request a survey when they can smell odours however the chances are that they have a blockage so a general unblock will do. Here at the Drain Unblocking Company, we CCTV regardless just to be sure!

The other 10% of clients are aware of ongoing issues or are moving house and want it included in their home buyers survey, but there are more important reasons of why and when!

  1. Having a new driveway or decking, Its really important to have your drains checked if they run under a drive or decking because if you spend thousands just to have it ripped up again will destroy the strongest of souls!
  2. As mentioned a home buyers survey, almost no body has the drainage added on to the survey because surveyors charge a fortune, you can ask a drainage company to do it at a fraction of the cost. The best rule of thumb is if the pipes are clay then CCTV away.
  3. Subsidence, One of the worst words to say to a home owner, if there is a subsidence issue or you see dips in the ground then get a survey ASAP.

There are plenty more to add but if you are in doubt speak to an expert 0800 920 2119
