CCTV drain surveys — domestic & commercial in Dalkeith
PK Plumbing — drain unblocking, jetting and CCTV surveys in Dalkeith and Newtongrange and Bonnyrigg. Local Gas Safe engineers, fixed quotes, fully insured.
Working in Dalkeith and nearby Newtongrange and Bonnyrigg, we see Victorian townhouses and tenement flats week in, week out. Tenements, townhouses and newer suburbs — shared stacks and stairwell access are normal here. That local repetition helps on tenement stacks, macerator faults, and careful work around listed or shared fabric — 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 Dalkeith usually need proof, not another quick clear.
Recent CCTV survey work in Dalkeith
Example 1
A buyer in Dalkeith 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 Dalkeith 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 Dalkeith 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 Dalkeith for pre-purchase packs, commercial drain survey bookings, repeat-issue diagnosis and “what’s actually in the pipe” questions, including routes toward Newtongrange, Bonnyrigg, and Musselburgh — footage-led, not guess-led.
Our approach
We’re picked in Dalkeith when people need evidence — purchases, insurance, disputes, or repeat issues — not another “quick clear” without proof.
When you need a CCTV drain survey in Dalkeith
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 Dalkeith
- Are your engineers Gas Safe registered for work in Dalkeith?
- 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 Newtongrange and Bonnyrigg on the same basis.
- Do you understand older properties in Dalkeith?
- 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 Newtongrange and Bonnyrigg on the same basis.
- Do you use CCTV on blocked drains in Dalkeith?
- 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 Newtongrange and Bonnyrigg.
- Can you jet drains in Dalkeith, 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 Newtongrange and Bonnyrigg.
- Do you cover all of Dalkeith, not just the centre?
- Yes — we work across Dalkeith and surrounding neighbourhoods with the same standards. Your job is matched to a local engineer. We also cover Newtongrange and Bonnyrigg on the same basis.
Typical work we see in Dalkeith

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