A Practical Approach
This guide explains the defect in plain English, how it can develop, what symptoms it may cause, how it appears during CCTV inspection and when repair is or is not usually justified.
Drain defects vary greatly in severity. The correct response depends on position, flow, symptoms, risk and whether the condition is stable or getting worse.
When This Service Is Appropriate
This service is appropriate when evidence is needed before purchase, repair, building work, an insurance decision or investigation of recurring symptoms.
Chris’s Professional Advice
The most useful investigation is the one that answers a specific question. Before starting, I consider the symptoms, history and layout so the work remains focused.
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.
Not every defect needs immediate repair. Age, position, severity, flow and symptoms all matter when deciding what is proportionate.
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
How quickly can work be arranged?

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