CCTV Drain Survey Reveals Damaged Drain in Epsom
Drain Ace was recently called to investigate a drainage issue at a property in Epsom, Surrey, where the homeowner had been experiencing ongoing drainage problems.
When drains repeatedly block or water fails to flow properly, the cause is often hidden further inside the pipework. In these situations, a CCTV drain survey is one of the most effective ways to identify the problem.
Using specialist drain inspection equipment, a waterproof camera was inserted into the drainage system to inspect the inside of the pipe.
Severe Drain Damage Identified
The CCTV inspection revealed that the drain pipe had become badly damaged, with a section of the pipe deteriorating to the point where normal water flow was being disrupted.
Damage like this can occur for several reasons, including:
- Ground movement around the pipe
- Age-related deterioration in older drainage systems
- Tree root intrusion
- Previous structural stress on the pipework
The CCTV footage clearly showed the damaged area inside the pipe, allowing the exact location of the problem to be identified quickly.
Removing the Damaged Section of Drain
Because the pipe was too severely damaged to repair internally, the best solution was to cut out the affected section of drain and replace it with a new pipe section.
The damaged pipework was carefully removed and replaced with a new section of drain pipe, restoring the structural integrity of the drainage system.
Once the repair was completed, the drain was tested to ensure water could flow freely again through the system.
CCTV Drain Surveys in Epsom
CCTV drain inspections are an extremely useful tool for diagnosing drainage problems that cannot be seen from the surface.
They allow drainage engineers to identify issues such as:
- Cracked or collapsed pipes
- Tree root intrusion
- Blockages deep within the system
- Misaligned pipe joints
By locating the exact cause of the problem, the correct repair can be carried out quickly and efficiently.
