What is a drain investigation?
A drain investigation is a detailed inspection of your drainage system to identify the cause of issues such as leaks, blockages, bad smells, or flooding. It often involves CCTV surveys, dye testing, and tracing equipment to pinpoint problems.
What is drain tracing?
Drain tracing is the process of locating where your drains run underground. Using sonar tracing or dye tests, we can map out your drainage layout, even if no plans exist, without digging.
Is drain tracing disruptive?
Not at all. Our equipment is non-invasive and works through existing access points like manholes or rodding eyes. There’s no need for digging unless a repair is required.
How long does a drain investigation take?
Most investigations can be completed in 1-3 hours, depending on the size and complexity of the system. You’ll receive a clear report with findings and recommendations shortly after.
Will I receive a report afterwards?
Yes. We provide a full written report, site map (if tracing is involved), and video footage (if CCTV was used), along with expert advice and a quote for any required works.
