What Our Clients Say About Fast Drainage Northwest

"Kyle was prompt and efficient and a lovely guy. My cloakroom drain was blocked and he fixed in no time at all. Very reasonable price and would highly recommend his services."

Vivienne Smith

"Kyle was the first to reply to my add and phoned me letting me know what time he would arrive to sort out my problem. He was polite and efficient, cleaned up after he has unblocked my drain and did a brilliant job in less than half an hour. I am more than happy with the work."

Ian Williams

"We needed a new soil pipe fitting, and Kyle assessed the job and quoted that same day. He completed the work in a day and a half, and did a brilliant job. Minimal disruption, and everything cleared up afterwards. Oh, and a good price as well. Highly recommended!"

FAQ

CCTV Drain Survey Questions

Find answers to common questions about our professional CCTV drain survey services for properties in Wigan and the North West.

What is a CCTV drain survey and why might I need one?

+

A CCTV drain survey uses a remote-controlled camera to inspect the inside of your drainage pipes without any digging. You might need one if you're experiencing recurring blockages, persistent bad smells, or slow-draining water. It’s an essential service for pinpointing the exact cause of drainage problems, whether it's cracks, root ingress, or a collapsed drain, allowing for the right solutions. Our expert team has years of experience using this technology to assess your drainage needs accurately.

How does your CCTV drain camera inspection work?

+

Our professional team inserts a small, waterproof camera into your drainage system, which sends live video footage back to a monitor. We navigate the camera through your pipes, carefully inspecting every section. This efficient process allows us to capture high-quality images and video of any issues. It's a non-invasive job that gives us a clear picture of your drains' condition, helping us offer the best repair service or maintenance plan.

When should I consider getting a drain camera survey done?

+

There are several key times to consider a CCTV drain survey. If you're buying a new property, a homebuyer drain survey is highly recommended to avoid inheriting costly problems. If you have ongoing blockages that traditional unblocking doesn't fix, a survey can find the root cause. It's also vital for build-over agreements when extending your home over a public sewer, or if you suspect a collapsed drain. Our West Wigan team is ready for your call, even for emergency surveys.

Is a CCTV drain survey expensive, and how long does it take?

+

The cost of a CCTV drain survey varies depending on the complexity and length of the drainage system. However, it’s often a very cost-effective way to avoid unnecessary digging and target repairs precisely. We offer free, no-obligation quotes before any work begins. A typical domestic survey can take anywhere from one to a few hours, depending on what we find and the size of your property's drainage. Our professional service is efficient, aiming to give you detailed results quickly.

What kind of problems can your drain camera surveys identify?

+

Our advanced drain camera surveys can identify a wide range of issues within your drainage system. These include cracks, fractures, collapsed drains, tree root ingress, displaced joints, blockages from debris or fat, and even incorrect pipe installations. The detailed report we provide gives you a comprehensive understanding of your drains' health, enabling us to offer the most effective repair solutions. We ensure a quality job is done to address your specific needs.

Q: How much does it cost to unblock a drain?

+

A: Our call-out fee covers the cost of attendance, diagnosis, and the clearance of small blockages with rods. If more advanced equipment like high-pressure jetting is needed, we will provide you with a clear, fixed quote before any work begins. There are no hidden fees – just honest, upfront pricing for a reliable service.

Q: Are you really available 24/7?

+

A: Yes, absolutely. Drainage emergencies don’t stick to a 9-to-5 schedule, and neither do we. You can call us any time, day or night, 365 days a year. Our expert team is ready to respond within hours to your emergency drainage needs.

Q: What is your 30-day guarantee?

+

A: If we perform a drain unblocking service and the same drain blocks again from a non-man-made cause within 30 days, we will return to your property and clear it again, completely free of charge. It's part of our commitment to a quality job and your peace of mind.

Q: My driveway is covered in moss and dirt. Can you help?

+

A: Yes, alongside our core drainage work, we also offer a professional domestic driveway pressure washing service. We can help restore your paths and patios, leaving your property looking clean and tidy.
