“I was talking to a friend the other day asking for help trying to find a CCTV drain survey near me. You see, I had a blocked drain and despite lifting all the covers and peering inside with a torch, I couldn’t find exactly where the blockage was occurring.
nn
My friend didn’t even know what a CCTV drain survey was and certainly couldn’t point me in the right direction to find someone nearby who could conduct one for me. I considered what to do. It seemed my only other choice was to throw lots of chemical cleaners into the drain at various points in the system and hope for the best.
nn
I went to the local DIY store to buy the chemicals and was just totting up the total cost and praying it would work when an assistant in the store took pity on me and gave me the number for Pro Blocked Drains. I rang the number straight away and a friendly voice on the other end of the phone took my name and address and promised to send someone out that very afternoon to check the drain blockage.
Sure enough that afternoon a van pulled up outside my house and two men jumped out and started to unload their equipment. Before I had time to put on the kettle and offer them tea, they had located the source of the blockage and were ready to offer advice on how to deal with it.

They gave me a quote to clear the drain for me which I thought was very reasonable so agreed and very soon they cleared the drain blockage and my water was running freely again.

I couldn’t have been happier.” Kate C

A CCTV Drain Survey is a device that helps detect drainage problems and identifies the cause of any blockage or damage to the pipes. Knowing if paper, rock, grease, oil, or cloth is causing the blockage helps you to choose the right solution to clear it.

What’s more, knowing the exact location of the blockage means you can focus straight on the problem area with the minimum amount of fuss or disruption. Obviously, this will save you time and money in resolving the drain blockage.

A CCTV Drain Survey is quite simple. It comprises a high-definition camera which is used to capture and record the entire scene inside the drainage pipes; access rods to help you maneuver the camera through complex pipework; crawlers to give more mobility and help view the condition of the drain even through obstructions; and sometimes sonar which helps you get a complete insight of the condition of the drain, despite any obstructions.

The camera is placed into the drain through an access manhole and rodding cap. It is maneuvered through the drainage system. capturing images as it goes through the pipework and logging the distance it travels so that the location of the blockage can be found again from outside.

Once this information has been collected, the engineers at Pro Blocked Drains can analyze the cause and determine the best solution, all in terms of cost, ease of access, and efficiency. With their recommendations at hand, you can then decide if you wish to clear the drain blockage yourself or, my preferred option, let Pro Blocked Drains do it for you.

Drains are often getting blocked: hair accumulating in the shower tray, grease and cooking fat accidentally put down the kitchen sink, too much paper flushed down the toilet, or even those tiny blocks of lego posted down the drain by your neighbor’s toddler.
nn
Often, you hardly notice the water draining away more slowly than usual from the kitchen sink or the level in the toilet bowl rising too high when you flush, and it’s not until you have a noticeable problem that you pay it any attention.

But just like you service your car each year or get a check-up at the dentist, booking a CCTV drain survey regularly is an excellent idea as it is able to check the condition of your whole drainage system, not just looking for blockages but also checking for leaky joints, cracks and the like, and resolving any issues before they become an inconvenient and expensive problem.
