What I Look For

The immediate priority is to restore proper flow using suitable drainage equipment. Once clear, the drain is tested and the likely cause assessed. A camera survey is not automatically required, but it becomes useful when blockages repeat, the pipe does not clear normally, rats or roots are suspected, or there are signs of structural damage.

This avoids turning a simple clearance into unnecessary work while still giving recurring problems the investigation they deserve.

When This Service Is Appropriate

This service is appropriate when a drain, toilet, sink or outside drain is blocked or draining poorly. CCTV is considered where the problem is repeated, unusual or likely to involve a hidden defect.

Chris’s Professional Advice

Where possible, I show the customer the important findings and explain them in ordinary language.

A clear drain can still contain a defect, while a blocked drain can sometimes be structurally sound. Symptoms and evidence must be considered together.

A camera image on its own is not enough. The important part is interpreting what it shows and deciding whether the finding is relevant to the problem.

What Happens Next

I first establish the reason for the visit and the most useful access points. I then carry out the relevant clearance, inspection or investigation, explain the findings and discuss proportionate options. Where another trade, pest controller, insurer or structural specialist is more appropriate, I say so.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you carry out commercial work?

Yes. Commercial drainage investigations can be planned around the property, access arrangements and reporting requirements.

Can roots be seen during an inspection?

Usually yes. Root ingress often appears clearly, although heavy blockage or standing water may need clearing before the full extent can be assessed.

Will I receive clear advice?

Yes. I explain the important findings in plain English and distinguish between urgent work, sensible maintenance and items that may simply be monitored.

Can you identify displaced or open joints?

Yes. Joint condition is one of the common features assessed during CCTV work.

How much experience do you have?

I have more than 35 years of practical drainage experience, including previous council drainage work.

Can you inspect shared drains?

Often yes, although access, permission and responsibility may need to be considered where pipework serves more than one property.

Can you inspect older clay drains?

Yes, provided there is suitable access and the pipe can be entered safely with the equipment.

Is there a call-out charge?

There is no separate call-out charge. The price and scope are discussed as clearly as possible before work starts.

Can you map the route of a drain?

In many cases, yes. Drain tracing and observations from access points can help establish routes, connections and likely positions.

Can a survey help before buying a house?

Yes. A homebuyer drain survey can reveal defects and maintenance issues that are not visible during a normal property viewing.

How quickly can work be arranged?

Availability varies, so it is best to call or WhatsApp with the location and a brief description of the problem.

What does Blocked Sinks involve?

The exact process depends on the reason for the visit, but it normally includes checking access, investigating the relevant drainage run, recording findings and explaining the result.
