Why Recurring Drain Blockages in Derby Need a Full CCTV Drain Survey
If your drains keep blocking, even after being cleared, it is a sign that a deeper problem exists. Many homeowners in Derby, Hilton, Burton, and surrounding Midlands towns call unblocking companies repeatedly, only for the same issue to return weeks later. The truth is, a simple “look and learn” drain inspection may not be enough to identify what is really happening underground.
A full CCTV drain survey provides a comprehensive diagnosis by capturing high-definition video footage throughout your entire drainage system. This allows technicians to pinpoint cracks, collapsed sections, tree root ingress, or other hidden defects that cause persistent blockages.
Why Look and Learn Inspections Are Limited
Quick inspections or “look and learn” checks are fine for minor issues, but they do not offer the complete detail needed to resolve ongoing problems. They often fail to identify:
Cracks or fractures in the drain structure
Collapsed or deformed sections of pipe
Tree root ingress blocking flow
Displaced joints allowing waste build-up
Rodent access points causing blockages or contamination
Without a full diagnostic survey, treatment is often temporary, leading to recurring issues and escalating repair costs.
Practitioner-Focused Drain Treatments
Once a full survey identifies the problem, targeted treatments can be implemented effectively:
Pipe Relining to restore pipe integrity without excavation
Joint Repair to correct misaligned or separated joints
Root Removal to eliminate blockages and restore flow
Rodent Proofing to prevent pest entry through damaged pipes
Preventive Maintenance to monitor drain health and prevent future blockages
Each treatment ensures your system functions efficiently, reduces emergency callouts, and protects your property from future damage.
Benefits of a Full CCTV Drain Survey
A full diagnostic drain survey provides:
HD video footage of your drainage system
Clear, jargon-free written reports
Evidence-based recommendations for repair or maintenance
Long-term solutions instead of temporary fixes
Cost-effective prevention against future issues
Investing in a professional survey now can save you thousands in repeated callouts, excavation costs, and property damage.
