CCTV drain surveys — domestic & commercial in Abbeyhill
Need drainage surveys in Abbeyhill? PK Plumbing covers drain unblocking, jetting and CCTV surveys across Abbeyhill, Gorgie and Balgreen with clear pricing and guaranteed workmanship.
Working in Abbeyhill and nearby Gorgie and Balgreen, we see homes and properties week in, week out. Mixed housing ages mean boiler sizing, drain method and access planning vary job by job. That local repetition helps on landlord repairs, certificates, and tidy work in finished rooms — we diagnose on site rather than guessing from a postcode. On drainage surveys jobs we rod, jet or camera the line first — repeat blockages in Abbeyhill usually need proof, not another quick clear.
Recent CCTV survey work in Abbeyhill
Example 1
A buyer in Abbeyhill 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 Abbeyhill 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 Abbeyhill 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 on site in Abbeyhill for pre-purchase packs, commercial drain survey bookings, repeat-issue diagnosis and “what’s actually in the pipe” questions, including routes toward Gorgie, Balgreen, and Colinton — footage-led, not guess-led.
Our approach
You get files you can forward to a solicitor or insurer, not a vague phone summary.
When you need a CCTV drain survey in Abbeyhill
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.
Common questions in Abbeyhill
- Can you attend same day for emergencies in Abbeyhill?
- We aim for same-day attendance for genuine emergencies — major leaks, burst pipes, and total loss of heating or hot water when capacity allows. Call for an honest arrival window. We also cover Gorgie and Balgreen on the same basis.
- Are quotes clear before you start in Abbeyhill?
- We give written scopes for planned work where we can. For diagnostic jobs we explain what is included before we start so you can decide — no vague "turn up and see" pricing. We also cover Gorgie and Balgreen on the same basis.
- Do you use CCTV on blocked drains in Abbeyhill?
- 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 Gorgie and Balgreen.
- Can you jet drains in Abbeyhill, 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 Gorgie and Balgreen.
- Are your engineers Gas Safe registered for work in Abbeyhill?
- All gas boiler repair, installation and servicing is carried out by Gas Safe registered engineers. We will show registration on request and leave paperwork where required. We also cover Gorgie and Balgreen on the same basis.
Typical work we see in Abbeyhill
- Repeat routes through Abbeyhill mean we recognise common fault patterns and bring sensible parts first visit.
- Gas Safe discipline, tidy reinstatement, and clear paperwork — especially on homes where access is tight.

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