What does a CCTV Drain Survey check for in Loughborough Homes?
Most drainage problems are invisible until it costs a fortune to put right. A drain survey camera allows you to see exactly what is going on inside your drains before the problems occur.
Pipe Material and Age
Properties in Loughborough, of an older age, are likely to be equipped with clay or even pitch fibre drains. A survey of this nature will be able to highlight signs of wear, even related to the age of the property. It can then be determined whether a repair is needed or whether it would be more cost effective to replace the drains entirely.
Joint Condition
Some faults are caused by failures in the pipe joints. A camera can show whether there are any cracks or separations in the joints. Even the smallest crack can allow soil to enter the pipe over time and cause a blockage or pipe collapse further down the run.
Root Intrusion
Tree and shrub roots follow moisture into pipes through the tiniest of openings in the drain or sewer pipe. A CCTV drain survey will show how far into the drains your roots have grown and whether they are restricting flow or even started to penetrate the pipe walls.
Blockage Type and Location
A CCTV drain survey can pinpoint the exact location of the blockage and the reason for it. For example, fat, silt and other debris can build up at different points of the drain for different reasons. Our CCTV drain surveys can give you an exact location of the blockage rather than just a rough idea.
Pipe Gradient and Settlement
Pipes need to have a constant downward fall to drain. As pipes settle into the ground over time low points can develop in pipes (sags) where water and waste can pool and not drain away.
Connection Integrity
We check the connection to the public sewers, as responsibility for Drains and Sewers lies with the property owner up to the boundary of their private drain and the public sewer, and any defects found on your side of the connection are your responsibility to repair.

Often dealing with the issues caught early on during a drain survey will cost less than allowing them to deteriorate and then dealing with the issues.
