CCTV drain surveys — domestic & commercial in Niddrie
Gas Safe registered PK Plumbing handles drainage surveys across Niddrie, Meadowbank and Oxgangs and surrounding areas — 24/7 for genuine emergencies.
Properties around Niddrie mix older and newer plumbing — pipe age rarely matches the house next door. In the local area we regularly handle boiler breakdowns, hidden leaks, blocked drains and heating that will not balance. 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 Meadowbank and Oxgangs.
Recent CCTV survey work in Niddrie
Example 1
A buyer in Niddrie 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 Niddrie 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 Niddrie 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 Niddrie and Meadowbank, Oxgangs, and Duddingston learn which runs connect where, so reports describe the right length of pipe.
What you can expect
If a partial obstruction blocks the view, we’ll explain options before any extra work — the survey stays the priority.
When you need a CCTV drain survey in Niddrie
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 Niddrie
- Are quotes clear before you start in Niddrie?
- 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 Meadowbank and Oxgangs on the same basis.
- Are your engineers Gas Safe registered for work in Niddrie?
- 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 Meadowbank and Oxgangs on the same basis.
- Do you use CCTV on blocked drains in Niddrie?
- 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 Meadowbank and Oxgangs.
- Can you jet drains in Niddrie, 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 Meadowbank and Oxgangs.
- Do you understand older properties in Niddrie?
- 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 Meadowbank and Oxgangs on the same basis.
Typical work we see in Niddrie
- Taps, toilets, radiators and emergency callouts where water loss needs fast isolation — honest quotes before we open floors or walls.
- Niddrie: homes — we diagnose plumbing issues and heating problems on site, not from a generic script.
- 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 Niddrie handles that as a separate quoted job — so you’re not sold jetting when you only booked a survey.
