CCTV drain surveys — domestic & commercial in Ilkley
Ilkley cctv drain surveys: PK Plumbing combines local routes through Otley and Addingham with drain unblocking, jetting and CCTV surveys — book online or call for emergencies.
Working in Ilkley and nearby Otley and Addingham, we see Victorian terraces and city centre apartments week in, week out. From Wharfedale villages to Leeds suburbs — pipe age and heating layout differ sharply by street. That local repetition helps on leak tracing in extended kitchens and loft conversions with hidden pipework — we diagnose on site rather than guessing from a postcode. On cctv drain surveys jobs we rod, jet or camera the line first — repeat blockages in Ilkley usually need proof, not another quick clear.
Recent CCTV survey work in Ilkley
Example 1
A buyer in Ilkley 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 Ilkley 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 Ilkley 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.
What you can expect
You get files you can forward to a solicitor or insurer, not a vague phone summary.
When you need a CCTV drain survey in Ilkley
A survey is inspection-first: you get a clear picture of offsets, roots, displaced joints and structural defects where the line is visible — the kind of detail a verbal “it’s fine” never replaces.
Older clay and shared laterals are common in this area; we’re used to tight gardens, manholes and explaining responsibility boundaries in the notes.
Common questions in Ilkley
- Do you understand older properties in Ilkley?
- Yes. Many homes here still have older pipework, microbore heating, or upgrades done in layers. We diagnose properly rather than assuming a modern combi fault code tells the whole story. We also cover Otley and Addingham on the same basis.
- Do you cover all of Ilkley, not just the centre?
- Yes — we work across Ilkley and surrounding neighbourhoods with the same standards. Your job is matched to a local engineer. We also cover Otley and Addingham on the same basis.
- Do you use CCTV on blocked drains in Ilkley?
- Yes — when a blockage keeps returning or the cause is not obvious, we camera the line so you get proof before major work. We also cover Otley and Addingham.
- Can you jet drains in Ilkley, not just rod them?
- We carry high-pressure jetting kit with the right nozzles for kitchen waste, soil pipes and yard lines — rods alone are not always enough. We also cover Otley and Addingham.
- Can you attend same day for emergencies in Ilkley?
- We prioritise genuine emergencies — major leaks, burst pipes, and total loss of heating or hot water. Call for an honest arrival window. We also cover Otley and Addingham on the same basis.

After the survey — clearance only if you need it
This page is about camera inspection and reporting. If footage shows a blockage we can clear, our blocked drain team in Ilkley handles that as a separate quoted job — so you’re not sold jetting when you only booked a survey.
