Why you should get an engineer to do a CCTV inspection of external drains
If you’ve tried to unblock an external drain several times but haven’t had any luck, you may have to take a closer look at things. Sometimes drain pipes collapse or fracture, get damaged by tree roots or have bigger blockages further down.
If this is the case, we recommend getting to the source of the problem quickly to stop further damage or flooding. And the best person for the job is a qualified drainage engineer. They’ll use specialist CCTV camera equipment to take detailed images and measurements of the pipework. After completing the CCTV drain survey, they’ll be able to see the cause of the blockage, limescale build-up, cracks and fractures, tree roots and faulty joints or materials. Based on these findings, they’ll recommend the best way forward.
