CCTV drain surveys — domestic & commercial in Glasgow
Drainage Surveys in Glasgow (including Bearsden and Milngavie): drain unblocking, jetting and CCTV surveys — Gas Safe where required, fixed quotes, PK Plumbing, 180+ reviews.
Glasgow’s tenement stock, post-war schemes and suburban semis mean we see everything from combi upgrades in tight cupboards to drainage issues on older combined systems. Hard water and age catch up on valves and cylinders; we balance honest repair vs replacement advice. Whether you’re in the West End, Southside or surrounding towns we cover, you get engineers who understand Scottish heating habits — TRVs, zoning and realistic outputs for older fabric.
Recent CCTV survey work in Glasgow
Example 1
A buyer in Glasgow 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 Glasgow 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 Glasgow 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.
Reporting matters as much as the pass: customers in Glasgow get readable summaries alongside MP4s — same standard around Bearsden, Milngavie, and Bishopbriggs.
What you can expect
Choosing us for drainage surveys in Glasgow 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 Glasgow
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 Glasgow
- Can you powerflush older heating systems?
- Where it’s the right fix, yes — after we’ve checked circulation, pump and boiler health so you’re not flushing a failing system.
- Do you handle emergency leaks?
- We run emergency cover for bursts and major leaks — we isolate safely first, then plan the permanent fix.
- What about bathroom refits in tenements?
- We plan wastes, pressures and access with you — tenements need care on stacks and noise — and we test thoroughly on completion.
Typical work we see in Glasgow
- Tenements, schemes, and semis — combi cupboard upgrades, older combined drainage, and hard water wear on valves.
- Emergency isolation first on bursts, then permanent repairs — especially where multiple flats share services.
- Powerflushing only when circulation and boiler health justify it — we won’t flush a failing system for a quick ticket.

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 Glasgow handles that as a separate quoted job — so you’re not sold jetting when you only booked a survey.
