Like any reputable drainage company serving Dartford, PMB Environmental Ltd uses the latest in CCTV drainage survey equipment to provide faster, less disruptive and more cost-effective solutions. While we use this high-tech kit to investigate blocked drains and other issues at your property, they also deliver trusted results for other needs. For example, drain surveys have become a common requirement for anyone looking to secure a mortgage. They also help with subsidence investigations, rodent infestations, water ingress in cellars and sub-floors as well as tracking drains ahead of a house extension.
When combined with our decades of experience, these surveys allow us to pinpoint the exact location of any blockages or damage within your entire drainage network. We can also undertake a detailed visual inspection in real time, without the need for excavation.
In this blog, we look at why CCTV drainage surveys have become a cornerstone of our services.
Drains are almost exclusively underground or beneath your Dartford home or workplace. As such, it’s impossible to identify drainage issues straight away. We already know the common causes of damaged or blocked drains: waste build-up, pipe fractures or cracks and tree root intrusion, to name a few. But these can happen at any point throughout your system, and not necessarily near an area with instant access.
Our CCTV equipment guides us through your drain structure with relative ease and speed. This allows us to find and diagnose your problem on the spot before recommending the most appropriate solution.
In addition, we can also map the entire drainage network for your Dartford property. This allows us to identify areas susceptible to blocked drains or other problems in the future. What’s more, with a complete overview of the system, we can also identify if the affected area is your responsibility as the homeowner.
The results of CCTV surveys are not a mandatory part of a homebuyer’s report. This means you could buy a property with drains in a poor condition without even knowing it. Our service ensures peace of mind for buyers, but also allows homeowners to provide evidence that their drainage system is in a good state of repair before any transaction.
In addition to the speed of the analysis we can carry out at your Dartford property, CCTV surveys also provide the following benefits:
