Drainage survey & repair service

We offer a CCTV drain surveys to customers throughout the south of England who have encountered recurring problems that have to be resolved without delay.
Recurring blockages will occur in drainage systems due to defects or damage in the line that you simply cannot see or reach. Structural damage can affect properties where underground drainage has been damaged or become defective e.g. leaking joints, cracks or root ingress.

Problems with your drainage system may potentially cost you thousands thus CCTV surveys are becoming increasingly popular and cost-effective way of saving yourself from large repair bills.

A push-rod camera is inserted into a 100mm to 255mm pipe or drain to inspect the condition of the pipe work or to determine why a drain or why a pipe blocks up. This provides an accurate recording of the internal pipe condition for inspection.

CCTV technology is the only way to examine drains, sewers and pipelines in detail.

At GHP South Limited, we use state of the art camera and software technology to deliver class-leading drainage system inspections and surveys and comprehensive reports.

Why survey drains?

A drain survey alerts you to any potential problems, such as structural issues (fractures or collapse), root ingress or blockages.

Our CCTV surveys are suitable for any type of property — residential, commercial, industrial or infrastructure such as roads, rail, utility, etc.

Our services may well help you to avert a drainage disaster in the future.

Our CCTV surveyors are experienced and qualified to Water Industry standards so that the information we supply is consistent and reliable.

From the data we collect from your survey, we compile a comprehensive report, or CAD drawings which detail the drain condition, invert levels, flow directions and connections. We will also give recommendations and itemised costs involved in any works that may be necessary to get your drains flowing fully.

GHP South provide detailed CCTV surveys to look for and identify broken or displaced pipework that allows access for rats into a property. Sorting the fact from fiction, it is very unusual for rats to access a property via the toilet bowl. Rats do damage soft plastic pipework and can cause problems and damage by eating through the pipework.

Pre-purchase drain surveys for home buyers

Drain surveys are one of the most important things to do before buying your new home. Unfortunately, some homebuyers find out their drains have structural defects once they’ve moved into their new home and then have to pay lots of money for their drains to be repaired.

A pre-purchase CCTV drain survey can spot any potential problems before they appear, giving the buyer, the opportunity to negotiate with the seller or even pull out of the purchase.

Drain Repairs

When you are having problems with your drains, either a persistent blockage, rodent infestation or house subsidence, the first thing you need to do is investigate with a CCTV drain survey.

The survey will provide details of any damage, depth of the drain, access to the problem area and any connecting pipework, all of which will determine the best form of drain repair.

This may take the form of a drain lining being installed or an excavation. GHP South will always recommend the most cost efficient remedy for the identified issue with the drain.

Drain lining

This is an efficient and low cost method of doing a drain repair. The liner is inserted into the faulty pipe which is a simple way of returning faulty pipe-work to efficient working order.

Drain excavation

Most minor drain damage can be repaired by inserting a drain liner, but sometimes the damage is too severe to be repaired by a pipe lining and a drain excavation needs to be undertaken.

Our drainage engineers have many years of experience in drain excavation and use specialist drain excavation equipment when needed, to produce the best results with minimum disruption.

Once we have located the damaged or broken drains, we replace the section of faulty drainage with high quality replacement parts and leave the drains fully working for years to come.
