There are a number of reasons why you might need a CCTV drain survey; here are some of the symptoms that you should look out for that might help you come to a decision
Drain problems can cost thousands of pounds to repair, and it's not uncommon for homeowners to discover issues with their drainage system after purchasing a property. Unfortunately, many home buyers overlook the importance of getting a drain survey as part of their property inspection process.
A home buyer drain survey is an essential step when purchasing a property, as it can reveal hidden drainage issues that may not be visible during a standard property inspection. These issues can include blocked drains, damaged pipes, tree root intrusion, and other problems that could lead to costly repairs down the line.
By identifying these issues before completing the purchase, you can negotiate with the seller to either have the problems fixed or adjust the purchase price accordingly. This can save you significant money and prevent unexpected expenses after you've moved into your new home.
When dealing with blocked drains, ADI uses advanced CCTV survey technology to identify the exact cause of the blockage. Our process begins by thoroughly flushing the drains to ensure we have a clear view of the drainage system.
Using state-of-the-art CCTV cameras, we can inspect the entire length of your drain pipes, identifying any blockages, damage, or other issues that may be causing problems. The camera footage provides us with detailed information about the condition of your drains and helps us determine the best course of action.
Once we've identified the blockage location, we use our "cat & genny" (cable and generator) system to pinpoint the exact position from above ground. This allows us to locate the problem with precision, minimizing disruption to your property and ensuring we can address the issue efficiently.
Subsidence can be caused as a result of leaking drains.
Leaking drains can have serious consequences for your property, particularly when it comes to subsidence. When drains leak, especially in sandy soil conditions, the water can erode the ground around your property's foundations. This erosion can cause the ground to shift and settle, leading to subsidence.
Subsidence can cause significant structural damage to your property, including cracks in walls, uneven floors, and damage to the foundation itself. Early detection and repair of leaking drains is crucial to prevent subsidence and protect your property's structural integrity.
ADI Leak Detection was the first specialist leak detection company in the United Kingdom; we have developed a range of techniques to find leaks in virtually any scenario. When it comes to drain CCTV investigations, we use the best technology and tools available - providing the highest level of service for our customers!
The first part of our CCTV inspection process involves flushing your drains to remove years of built up dirt and light debris.
Our drain flushing equipment is perfect for cleansing the drain pipes but not for clearing blockages.
Once the pipes have been flushed clean, our technician carryout a Drain CCTV investigation to look for any signs of damage or subsidence.
In many cases, when there has been a blockage, the sewage has caught on a crack or other problem within the pipes, so it makes sense when the cameras are already down there to conduct a full and complete survey of the drain or sewer.
Upon completion of any Drain CCTV survey, we provide a full and comprehensive report along with our recommendations. These reports are normally more than sufficient to exceed any expectations or requirements set by your insurance company and will contain all your insurance companies required information.
