A CCTV survey helps diagnose drainage issues by providing a real-time visual inspection of the inside of your drainage system. The camera is inserted into the drain and transmits live footage to a monitor, allowing our technicians to see exactly what is causing the problem. This method is highly effective in identifying:

• Blockages caused by debris, grease, or foreign objects
• Cracks or fractures in the pipes
• Tree root intrusions
• Collapsed or misaligned pipes
• Corrosion or wear and tear

By pinpointing the exact location and nature of the issue, a CCTV survey enables us to recommend the most appropriate and cost-effective solution.

Using CCTV technology for drain inspections offers several benefits:

• Accurate Diagnosis: Provides a clear and precise view of the problem, ensuring accurate diagnosis and effective solutions.
• Non-Invasive: Minimises disruption to your property as there is no need for extensive excavation.
• Cost-Effective: Helps avoid unnecessary repairs by identifying the exact issue, saving time and money.
• Documentation: Provides visual evidence of the condition of your drains, which can be useful for insurance claims or property transactions.
• Preventative Maintenance: Identifies potential issues before they become major problems, allowing for proactive maintenance.

Preparing for a CCTV drain survey is straightforward. Here are some steps you can take to ensure a smooth process:

• Clear Access: Ensure that access points to the drainage system, such as manholes or inspection chambers, are clear and accessible.
• Inform Occupants: Notify any occupants of the property about the survey to avoid any disruptions.
• Provide Information: Share any relevant information about previous drainage issues or repairs with our technicians.
• Follow Instructions: Follow any specific instructions provided by our team to facilitate the survey.

By taking these steps, you can help ensure that the CCTV drain survey is conducted efficiently and effectively, providing you with a comprehensive assessment of your drainage system.

High-pressure water jetting is a method used to clear blockages in drainage systems by using a powerful stream of water. This technique involves directing high-pressure water through a specialised nozzle to dislodge and remove debris, grease, and other obstructions from the pipes.

High-pressure jetting effectively clears blockages by utilising the force of water to break up and flush out the materials causing the obstruction. The high-pressure water can reach all areas of the pipe, ensuring a thorough cleaning. This method is particularly effective for:

• Removing Grease and Fat: The high-pressure water can break down and wash away accumulated grease and fat deposits.
• Dislodging Debris: It can remove debris such as leaves, dirt, and small objects that may have entered the drainage system.
• Clearing Tree Roots: The force of the water can cut through and remove intrusive tree roots that have penetrated the pipes.
• Eliminating Scale and Mineral Deposits: High-pressure jetting can also remove scale and mineral deposits that build up over time.
