How We Find Blockages Without Digging Up Your Garden
A stubborn blocked drain used to mean guesswork, and sometimes a garden bed dug up in the wrong spot chasing a pipe that turned out to be somewhere else entirely. Modern drain camera technology has largely put an end to that, letting us see exactly what’s happening underground before any digging starts.
Seeing Inside the Pipe
A waterproof camera on a flexible rod is fed directly into the drain, sending a live picture back to a screen. Tree root intrusion, a collapsed section, grease build-up or a misaligned joint all look different on camera, which means the cause of the blockage is identified rather than assumed.
Why This Saves Time and Money
Once the problem is located, we can also measure exactly how far it is from the access point using the camera’s built-in locator, so any repair is targeted to that section of pipe rather than the whole run.
That precision usually means a smaller job, less disruption to paving or garden beds, and a faster turnaround overall.
From Diagnosis to Repair
Once we know exactly what we’re dealing with, we can talk you through the options, from a straightforward clear-out to a relined or replaced section of pipe, before any work begins.
If a drain keeps blocking or draining slowly, a camera inspection is usually the fastest way to find out why. Book an inspection with our team.
