Expert Drain Surveys In Teignmouth, Devon

When we carry out a drain survey for you, our local engineer uses state-of-the-art camera equipment that navigates through your pipes, from smaller domestic connections to larger sewer lines. We feed a flexible, high-resolution camera directly into your drainage system, capturing a live video feed onto a monitor. This allows us to spot everything from hairline cracks and fractured pipes to stubborn fatbergs, troublesome tree roots, scaling, or even signs of rodent ingress. We can also perform drain tracing and sonar mapping to accurately locate and chart the exact path of your underground drainage system, which is incredibly useful for property mapping or planning extensions.

There are several key situations where getting a drain survey makes real sense for properties in our service area:

• Homebuyer Drain Surveys (Pre-Purchase Inspections): If you’re buying a house in Exmouth, Dawlish, or any of the surrounding towns, a pre-purchase drain inspection can uncover hidden problems that might become your responsibility after moving in. We provide detailed Wincan reports that solicitors often require for property conveyancing.
• Persistent Blockages: Are you constantly dealing with blocked drains in your kitchen, bathroom, or outside gully pot in Ottery St Mary or Whimple? A survey identifies the exact cause – be it a collapse, heavy root ingress, or a build-up of scale – allowing for a targeted, lasting solution.
• Property Extensions & Build-Over Agreements: Planning an extension or building near a public sewer requires a build-over survey, often mandated by the water authority. We can provide the necessary documentation.
• Suspected Damage: Unpleasant smells, damp patches, or even localised subsidence on your property in Exeter or Starcross could all point to a damaged or leaking underground drain.
• Rodent Issues: If you're experiencing problems with rats or mice inside your property, a drain survey can pinpoint exactly where they’re entering through your drainage system.

After completing the camera inspection, we don't just tell you what we saw. We provide you with a comprehensive, easy-to-understand report. This includes detailed findings, high-quality still images, and the video footage from the survey. Our reports adhere to industry standards, including Wincan formats where required, giving you a clear diagnosis of any issues – whether it's a cracked pipe, a dislodged joint, a collapsed section, or even problems specific to older pitch fibre pipes. This precise information is invaluable, helping you make informed decisions, negotiate property sales, or plan the most effective and least disruptive repair strategy, such as our 'no-dig' solutions.
