Why Drain Problems Are so Expensive

Before we discuss drain surveys themselves, it’s important to understand why drainage problems can end up costing you so much as a homeowner.

Drains can be a complex system. Not only do they need to interact with various areas of your household plumbing, joining them to the wider sewer network, but they also need to be able to stand up to the elements. All told, there are many factors that can cause something to go wrong, including blockages from foliage and leaks in the drainage system. Drain repairs can be even more expensive when external pipework or collapsed drains go undetected for too long. Our CCTV drainage services uncover these hidden threats before they become major issues, helping you avoid nasty surprises and escalating costs.

When a complex system breaks, there’s almost always a knock-on effect.

A small amount of damage might not even be noticeable at first, but sooner or later, any problem is likely to compound. As more goes wrong, the cost of repairs goes up until suddenly you’re in a really tricky spot.

Why CCTV Drain Surveys?

A CCTV drain survey is a diagnostic tool used to inspect the condition of a drainage system. It involves inserting a high-resolution CCTV camera into the drain to identify any issues such as blockages, cracks, or collapsed pipes. This type of survey is essential for property owners, as it can help prevent costly repairs and maintenance.

By using a CCTV survey, you can identify problems early on and take preventative measures to avoid expensive repairs. In London, drain surveys are particularly important due to the age and complexity of the city’s drainage systems. Regular inspections can help ensure that your drainage system remains in good condition, saving you from unexpected and expensive repairs down the line.

    The Benefits of a CCTV Drain Survey

    A CCTV drain survey is a thorough and in depth way to get a clear picture of what’s going on in your drains - literally. CCTV drainage survey work is conducted using a high-resolution camera to capture real-time images of the drain's interior. The camera is inserted into the drain through a rodding access point or manhole, and the footage is viewed on a monitor by an experienced engineer. This allows the engineer to identify any issues with the pipe structure, such as cracks, collapses, or root intrusion. The footage can also be recorded and provided to the customer as part of the drain survey report.

    Our comprehensive CCTV drain survey service is suitable for both domestic properties and commercial premises, ensuring that all types of drainage systems are thoroughly inspected. Whether you're dealing with cracked pipes, collapsed sections, or a potential rat infestation, a CCTV drain survey gives you a full view of your property's drains and external problems. This detailed report supports preventative maintenance and ensures you are never caught off guard by avoidable damage.

    Not only does this mean that you’ll be able to fix any issues but it also provides peace of mind. Once you’ve had your drains surveyed, you can feel confident that any problems have been caught, even if they weren’t yet causing noticeable symptoms. This method ensures that any problems are identified quickly and accurately, allowing for targeted repairs and maintenance.

    What to Expect from a CCTV Drain Inspection

    When you book a CCTV drain inspection, you can expect a thorough and efficient service. The engineer will arrive promptly at the arranged time and carry out the survey using the latest CCTV cameras.

    The footage will be viewed in real-time, and any issues will be identified and reported. You will receive a full written report, including video footage and recommendations for any necessary repairs or maintenance.

    The report may also provide an estimated cost for any remedial work required. In some cases, the engineer may need to carry out a closer inspection or use specialised equipment to identify the source of the problem. This comprehensive approach ensures that you have all the information needed to make informed decisions about your drainage system.

    FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

    How much does it cost to clear a drain in the UK?

    Drain jetting costs between £70 and £175 on average. Drain jetting is the most effective technique a professional drainage repair service provider in London can use. It thoroughly removes any obstructions, quickly identifying and addressing the root cause of a drainage issue, resulting in clear pipes and eliminating immediate drain issues. The process also removes other debris that’s building up along the length of the pipe, preventing further problems in future.

    Can a plumber fix blocked drains?

    While some plumbers will attempt to tackle a blocked drain, their expertise mainly lies with water coming into your home rather than going out of it. So a plumber can fix dripping taps, install a new sink or repair leaky pipes internally. A drainage services company is better to resolve issues with drains and wastewater leaving your property. Specialised services are also available for commercial customers to ensure efficient drainage systems and minimise operational disruptions.

    When should you call a plumber for a clogged drain?

    If your sink is blocked or your toilet is overflowing, you can call a plumber, but if it’s your drains that are clogged, emitting a bad smell or can’t be unclogged with a plunger, it’s time to call a local drainage service. They have the equipment and experience to resolve larger problems. For businesses, conducting commercial drain surveys is crucial to ensure their drainage systems are efficient and functional.

    What does a drainage company do?

    Drainage companies offer a variety of services, from the installation of drainage systems for homes and businesses to resolving problems with existing systems. Good drainage companies will use CCTV inspection to evaluate the state of existing pipes and can remove blockages, suggesting replacement or repairs to pipework when necessary.

    What are the types of drainage?

    A drainage system is a series of channels that carry excess water away from humans, animals, or plants. There are two main types in UK homes:

    • Surface drainage systems: including downspouts, gullies in your garden, and linear drains – carrying away excess rainwater.
    • Grey water systems: including your kitchen and bathroom wastewater from sinks, toilets, baths and showers.

    For first-time home buyers, understanding the importance of a drainage system is crucial, as detailed assessments can uncover hidden issues that are often overlooked.

    What is the importance of drainage?

    Drainage removes excess water away from the property. Rainwater is drained away to prevent standing water, which can cause soil erosion and damage the fabric of your home. Grey water from kitchens and bathrooms is conducted into the main sewage system for cleaning and purifying. Without drainage, homes would flood or become contaminated with sewage.
