CCTV Drain Survey for Unblock and Drying of Drains

Drain problems are a nightmare for any property owner, and you need to act quickly before the problem gets worse in order to save yourself time, money, and hassle. For the majority of blocked drains, we are able to clear them quickly and easily with our high-pressure equipment used for drain jetting in Liverpool. However, if you have more stubborn blockages, or you need a more in-depth investigation, then a CCTV drain survey might prove more helpful. Our team will be able to identify any blockages and their location, as well as any other issues including leaks, cracks, and collapsed pipes with a specialist CCTV drainage survey in Wirral.

What is a CCTV drain survey?

From leak detection to identifying the scale and location of a stubborn blockage, CCTV drain surveys help to take all the guesswork out of the problem, and will help to save you time and money in the process. When you book Mersey Rod in for your CCTV drainage survey in Wirral, our expert engineer will be able to insert a small, high-tech camera inside the pipes which will capture real time CCTV footage showing us exactly what we need to work with. The cameras will be fed throughout your entire drainage system, and we will be able to spot any problems, big or small. Once we have the CCTV footage and images, we will be able to produce a report with our assessment and any repair recommendations. Depending on the size of the issue, we may be able to fix the problem there and then, or we can start the process for any larger drain repairs.

The CCTV survey doesn’t just have to be used when there is already a problem to fix. While it allows for easy identification of current problems, it also helps us to spot any potential issues that could arrive- helping you to avoid a large, unexpected bill and a lot of stress and hassle.

What can a CCTV drain survey help to find?

It is more important than you think you know the overall health of your drains. Any issues that we uncover can help you to avoid leaks, burst pipes, and even structural damage to your home. A CCTV drain survey can help to uncover:

• Cracked and collapsed pipes
• Large and small blockages
• Any current or potential leaks
• Displaced joints
• Tree root ingression, both major and minor
• Corrosion of the pipes hidden deep in the drainage system
• Scale and mineral build up on the inside of your pipes
• Signs of poor installation
• General wear and tear

As we all know, prevention is the best way to ensure that you don’t have a plumbing emergency so understanding what is going on inside your pipes is a crucial element. If you can stop issues before they arise, then you will be saving yourself a lot of time and money in the long run.

What are the benefits of a CCTV drain survey?

There are many different benefits to investing in a CCTV drain survey, and these will always outweigh the cost and the time that it takes to complete.

Quick and Fast Analysis

Everyone knows that when you have a drainage issue, you want it sorted as quickly as possible! Not only can blocked drains cause a nasty smell that will linger, they can also lead to cracked or even burst pipes that will cause a lot more havoc. A CCTV drain survey will speed up the process, and we will be able to see the problem using the screen on site. It takes the guesswork out of the equation, and allows us to find the right solution the first time.

Minimal Disruption

The CCTV camera does all of the work before we start our repairs, and will locate the exact location of the issue whilst we are on site. Rather than carrying out a full-scale excavation (including digging up your garden) to find the source of the issues, we will know exactly which pipe requires our attention.

Cost Effective

You might think that the initial cost is quite pricey, however, repeat visits to sort out a drainage problem will also add up before you know it. Thanks to its accuracy and precision, a CCTV survey offers incredible value for money as well as giving you peace of mind. It is also worth booking a regular drain survey even when you don’t have an immediate issue. The cost of the survey will be considerably cheaper than a burst pipe and having to relocate whilst the problem is being fixed!

Accurate Diagnosis

As our drainage engineers are able to see what the problem is straight away, it means that we will be able to give you a fast and accurate diagnosis of any drainage problem whilst on site. Rather than making assumptions based on limited evidence, we will be able to offer effective solutions the first time round e.g., if the blockage is being caused by a tree root intrusion, then no amount of chemical cleaner or jet washing will be able to shift it, and CCTV surveys take the trial and error out of the solution.

Cheaper House Insurance

If you are buying a new property, unfortunately drain surveys are not a requirement – but they are something that should not be overlooked. It is important that you get your drainage system checked out before you sign the new contract, and we can carry out an assessment on the state of your new pipes. By knowing what future repairs might be required, you can negotiate on the asking price of the house, as well as cheaper house insurance if they are in a good state. We will also provide you with video evidence if your insurance company requires.
