CCTV drain surveys — domestic & commercial in Shawlands
Drainage Surveys in Shawlands (including Pollokshields and Giffnock): drain unblocking, jetting and CCTV surveys — Gas Safe where required, fixed quotes, PK Plumbing, 180+ reviews.
Properties around Shawlands mix older and newer plumbing — pipe age rarely matches the house next door. In Glasgow and surrounding towns we regularly handle emergency leaks in finished rooms where tidy reinstatement matters. Drainage 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 Pollokshields and Giffnock.
Recent CCTV survey work in Shawlands
Example 1
A buyer in Shawlands 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 Shawlands 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 Shawlands 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 Shawlands and Pollokshields, Giffnock, and Newton Mearns learn which runs connect where, so reports describe the right length of pipe.
Why choose us
You get files you can forward to a solicitor or insurer, not a vague phone summary.
When you need a CCTV drain survey in Shawlands
We run the camera from sensible access points, record the run, and summarise what we saw in plain English — plus watchable files you can forward. If we can’t see a section end-to-end, we say so rather than 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 Shawlands

- 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 Pollokshields and Giffnock.
