Any severe problem with your Drainage or sewer line such as blockage, cracks, tree root intrusion and scaling can cause extreme distress and discomfort. And needless to say, it can cost you a good amount of money for its repair. While it’s a fact that there are many reliable and professional drainage companies dotted all across the country offering world-class drain repair services at the most competitive prices, it’s always better to avoid drainage problems at the first place.

If you sincerely make efforts to prevent blocked drains or any other drainage problem, you can save a huge amount of time and disturbances in the long run. And of course, you will save big on drainage repair bills too! Factors such as fat, grease, hair and deposits can build-up over time, interrupting the flow of water inside your drainage pipes. It is very important to trace these build-ups in their initial phase or else they can grow bigger and cause more severe problems such as drain damage, water flooding, burst pipes, etc.

Performing Basic Check

Many a times, you can perform some basic checks on your own while evaluating the structural health of your drainage system. Find yourself a torch and a pair of gloves. Wear eyeglasses, cover up your face and ta-da! You can now open the drain cover and check if there are cracks, standing water, tree roots or any other damage or blockage you can see with your naked eyes.
However, this may not help much. Particularly when blockages are located far in the pipe where your eyes can’t reach, you need to call out a professional drainage company for CCTV survey. The drainage experts can give you clearer, more accurate and more detailed idea of what is wrong with your drains. Or tell you if there is any problem with your drains. A professional drainage inspection is worth an investment.

Performing a CCTV Drainage Inspection

When you hire professional drainage technicians, they use state-of-the-art CCTV technology to evaluate your drainage condition. This advanced camera technology can deliver most precise results in the most effective manner. A remotely operated, cable-attached camera is inserted into your drainage pipe through cover.

Once inserted, the camera travels through the pipe length and give you real-time information of all difficult-to-reach areas of your drainage interior with absolutely no need of excavation. The camera can take high quality videos and images which the operator can watch on the remotely connected monitor screen in real time.

If there is any problem found with your drainage system during CCTV survey, the professional drainage technicians can resolve it more efficiently and more speedily. After all, they know what the issue is, what may have caused it and where exactly it is.

A CCTV drain survey is strongly recommended to all home buyers. If you too are thinking to buy a new property, hire a CCTV drain survey team to perform a thorough inspection of the drainage system of your shortlisted property. Conducting a drainage inspection is even more important if you are buying an old property.

Cost

The cost of CCTV drainage survey is much less than the amount you would pay in drainage emergencies and major drain repair projects. Request quotes from multiple drainage companies. Do your homework and hire the most reliable drainage professionals to do the job. Don’t wait for a drainage problem to occur. Get your drainage system surveyed today!
