CCTV drain surveys — domestic & commercial in Edinburgh
Gas Safe registered PK Plumbing handles cctv drain surveys across Edinburgh, Leith and Morningside and surrounding areas — 24/7 for genuine emergencies.
Edinburgh’s tenements, townhouses and newer suburbs each bring different plumbing challenges: shared stacks in older stone buildings, restricted access in stairwells, and careful work around listed features. We’re comfortable with macerators and tight bathroom layouts, pressure quirks on combis, and heating upgrades where fabric and efficiency both matter. From Leith to Morningside patterns, we aim for solutions that suit how Edinburgh homes are actually built — not generic boiler-shop scripts.
Recent CCTV survey work in Edinburgh
Example 1
A buyer in Edinburgh 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 Edinburgh 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 Edinburgh 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.
We’re honest when the line can’t be seen end-to-end — partial surveys are labelled as such rather than oversold.
Why choose us
Our cctv drain surveys engineers in Edinburgh document access limits honestly; if we can’t see a section, we say so instead of implying certainty.

After the report, any clearance or repair is your choice with costs upfront — we don’t bundle jetting into a survey you didn’t ask for.
Common questions in Edinburgh
- Do you work on tenement plumbing and shared drains?
- Yes — we’re used to shared services and access constraints, and we’ll explain what’s your responsibility vs common parts where it affects the job.
- Can you repair Saniflo or macerator pumps?
- We attend macerator faults regularly — pumps, alarms and discharge routes — and test properly after repair.
- Are you Gas Safe registered?
- All gas work is carried out by Gas Safe registered engineers; we can provide registration details on request.
- Do you offer leak detection under floors or in kitchens?
- Yes — we trace hidden leaks methodically and minimise unnecessary damage while proving the source.
Typical work we see in Edinburgh
- Tenement stacks, stone fabric, and stairwell access — macerators, combi pressure quirks, and careful work around shared services.
- Hidden leaks and insurance-ready documentation when water tracks through older floors and joists.
- Heating upgrades where TRVs, zoning, and realistic boiler output have to match the building, not a brochure.
