CCTV drain surveys — domestic & commercial in Bathgate
PK Plumbing — drain unblocking, jetting and CCTV surveys in Bathgate and Livingston and Armadale. Local Gas Safe engineers, same-day when we can, fully insured.
Properties around Bathgate mix older and newer plumbing — pipe age rarely matches the house next door. In the Lothians we regularly handle shared services in flats, macerator callouts, and heating controls that actually zone properly. 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 Livingston and Armadale.
Recent CCTV survey work in Bathgate
Example 1
A buyer in Bathgate 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 Bathgate 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 Bathgate 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.
Where a light clear is needed before the camera can see, we explain before we do it; the visit stays about inspection first. Same approach in Bathgate and Livingston, Armadale, and Whitburn.
Our approach
Choosing us for drainage surveys in Bathgate 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 Bathgate
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 Bathgate
- Are your engineers Gas Safe registered for work in Bathgate?
- 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 Livingston and Armadale on the same basis.
- Do you understand older properties in Bathgate?
- 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 Livingston and Armadale on the same basis.
- Do you use CCTV on blocked drains in Bathgate?
- 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 Livingston and Armadale.
- Can you jet drains in Bathgate, 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 Livingston and Armadale.
- Do you cover all of Bathgate, not just the centre?
- Yes — we work across Bathgate and surrounding neighbourhoods with the same standards. Your job is matched to a local engineer where possible. We also cover Livingston and Armadale on the same basis.
Typical work we see in Bathgate

- Bathgate: modern commuter housing — we diagnose older heating systems and radiator upgrades on site, not from a generic script.
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 Bathgate handles that as a separate quoted job — so you’re not sold jetting when you only booked a survey.
