Pro Blocked Drains is a 24 hour a day, 365 days a year, emergency drainage company providing services for blocked drains. We have a network of local drainage experts covering the UK who can help you with your drain blockage problem.
A drain blockage in your home can happen at any time. All manner of things can be responsible: from gravel and leaves through to oil, grease, hair, and even washing out tools and buckets after doing some D.I.Y.

Often you don’t realize you have a problem until you notice the water isn’t draining away properly, or worse still, you have a flood or notice water stains on the walls where the pipes have been leaking.
nn
When this happens, most homeowners immediately try to remove the blockage either using proprietary drain cleaners, homemade cleaners or try drain jetting. Using these solutions straight away can be ‘hit and miss as it’s not always possible to see the cause or location of the blockage.
nn
And if you don’t know what you’re dealing with the chances are you will need to trial a few different solutions before you get the right one. This costs time and money and in the meantime, your water is switched off and you still have a damp smell spreading through the house and a damp patch on the wall or ceiling.
nn
But you don’t need to deal with the problems caused by a drain blockage in this way, by booking a CCTV Drain Survey with Pro Blocked Drains in Taunton, they will be able to identify the exact nature and location of any problem in the drainage system and use this detailed information to recommend the correct and most cost-efficient method to resolve the problem.

In this article, we’re going to introduce the CCTV drain survey and show how it can save you money, time, and mess.

A CCTV Drain Survey is a method used to examine the entire drainage system inside and outside your house to detect and identify drainage problems. Knowing if paper, rock, grease, oil, or cloth is causing the blockage helps you to choose the right solution to clear it.
nn
What’s more, by finding the exact location of the problem, you can target the right area with the minimum amount of fuss or disruption. Obviously, this will save you time and money in resolving the drain blockage. If you don’t find the blocked location then it’s best to call a Taunton’s professional drain unblocker to meet your needs.

A high-definition camera is placed into the drainage system through an access manhole and is maneuvered through the pipe network with the help of access rods and crawlers. Images are captured as the survey proceeds through the system and the condition of every section is assessed.
nn
Not only blockages are seen but also any damage to the pipe walls or joints. If there are any obstructions the survey equipment cannot pass through, sonar is used to complete the survey. Throughout the distances are logged so that the location of the blockage or damage can be found again from outside.
nn
Once this information has been collected, the engineers at Pro Blocked Drains analyze the cause of the problem and determine the best solution. 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.

However careful you are, drains often become blocked: hair accumulates in the shower tray, grease and cooking fat gets accidentally put down the kitchen sink, or sanitary products may be flushed down the toilet, rather than placed in the bin.
nn
It can be easy to ignore these problems and think they will not cause damage, but the day you come home to the toilet overflowing, water draining into the ceiling void, causing it to bulge, or the smell of mold coming from inside the cupboard under the sink, is the day you’ll have wished you’d taken preventative action earlier.
nn
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. This means you get the opportunity to resolve any issues before they become an inconvenient and expensive problem.
