One of the newest techniques that drain maintenance experts can use to diagnose blocked drainage is a CCTV survey. Using a small camera on the end of a long flexible rod, the drain maintenance professionals can look into your drainage system to determine if there are any blockages or obstructions. Because they can see into the drain, CCTV surveys dramatically reduce the need to excavate the drain to find the cause of the problem.

CCTV surveys are an extremely economical solution to find the cause of blocked drainage. They can be used on all types of sewer and drainage systems and because they relay the findings in real time to a computer, a decision can be made extremely quickly by the drainage professional on what course of action to take.

Drain maintenance to stop blockages

Drainage pipes do not last forever, but if they are maintained they can extend their lifespan. If the drain is functioning properly, there will be less likelihood that the pipes will be damaged because of a blockage. A drain maintenance company will perform a CCTV survey on your drain and then offer a suitable maintenance programme. This might involve descaling of the pipe or informing you that a section of the pipe may need to be changed after a certain period of time due to degradation of the system. However, when you know what to expect, you can plan for any future problems.
