Blocked drains can be one of the most unpleasant, distressing, and potentially dangerous issues for homeowners. Our drain engineers have expertise in solving all types of drainage issues from blockages in waste pipes to main drains. Specially equipped vans contain the latest equipment (including CCTV) enabling detailed inspections and reports if requested (e.g. for insurance purposes).

Southern Plumbing & Drainage will always work cleanly and efficiently ensuring that your premises are left clean and tidy following their visit. If you manage or own business premises, please contact us for further information.

High-end CCTV equipment allows our engineers to make a detailed inspection of a drain or pipe system which is not easily accessible. The CCTV camera will quickly allow identification of any problem not immediately apparent while providing early detection and prevention of future issues.

After reviewing the footage and identifying problems, or potential problems, and assessing the condition of the existing system, recommendations are made by the engineer for any immediate or longer-term action. The footage is then available to the customer to view.

Problems that can be detected:
Collapsed piping
Fractured piping
Broken segments
Vermin damage
Tree root ingress
Displaced joints and poor gradient
Pipe intrusion
Fat build up

If appropriate, after the CCTV survey, one non-destructive process and very effective solution is Drain Lining.
This process involves jetting out pipes before inserting an epoxy saturated polymer tube into the pipe. The tube is then expanded into place using another (removable) pressurised tube which ensures a tight bond to the original pipe and sets to form a ‘pipe within a pipe’ which will last for many years.

This non-destructive process eliminates the need for costly, and often major excavation, and can be carried out by our qualified drain engineers.
