CCTV drain surveys — domestic & commercial in Leith
Need cctv drain surveys in Leith? PK Plumbing covers drain unblocking, jetting and CCTV surveys across Leith, Edinburgh and Newhaven with clear pricing and guaranteed workmanship.
Properties around Leith mix older and newer plumbing — pipe age rarely matches the house next door. In Edinburgh and the Lothians we regularly handle hidden leaks and insurance-ready documentation when water tracks through older floors. CCTV Drain Surveys here often means kitchen stacks, yard gullies or older clay — we match the method to the pipe, not a one-size rod pass. Including work toward Edinburgh and Newhaven.
Recent CCTV survey work in Leith
Example 1
A buyer in Leith booked a drain camera survey before exchange — the vendor said the drains were fine, but slow bathroom wastes suggested otherwise.
We ran the camera from an accessible chamber and recorded the full run: connections, material changes and any defects. Footage showed a displaced clay joint catching waste — not a disaster, but real leverage for the solicitor. They received watchable files plus a short written summary.
Result: They negotiated with evidence instead of guesswork, and had a clear repair scope for after completion.
Example 2
A terraced home in Leith kept suffering the same kitchen sink backup every few months after quick clears elsewhere.
Instead of another blind rod pass, we surveyed when the line had enough flow to see. The camera picked up dense root ingress on a bend — the kind of fault that feels like a “normal blockage” until you look inside the pipe.
Result: They stopped paying for repeat clearances and moved to a quoted fix based on what the camera proved.
Example 3
After heavy rain, a driveway gully in Leith stopped taking water; the owner worried a pipe had collapsed under the hardstanding.
We surveyed from the gully toward the main, logging inverts and looking for breaks, ovality or rubble. The line was sound with a trapped silt section — no structural collapse — so major excavation wasn’t justified on the evidence.
Result: They avoided a dig-first approach, addressed the real restriction, and kept the footage for their records.
Access chambers, tight gardens and shared manholes are normal here. Teams surveying Leith and Edinburgh, Newhaven, and Portobello learn which runs connect where, so reports describe the right length of pipe.
Our approach
Choosing us for cctv drain surveys in Leith means inspection-first: watchable footage, plain-English notes, and no pressure to bundle jetting you didn’t ask for.
When you need a CCTV drain survey in Leith
Most people book a camera survey for one of three reasons: you’re buying a property and want evidence before exchange; you’re dealing with insurers or neighbours and need proof of what’s in the ground; or you’ve had repeat problems and want to stop guessing.
If the camera reveals debris that blocks the view, we’ll explain whether a light clear is sensible before continuing — major clearances are quoted separately so the visit stays about reporting.
