CCTV Drain Surveys for Folkestone (CT20) properties

Much of the Weald sits on heavy clay that swells in winter and shrinks in summer. That movement is the single biggest cause of cracked and displaced joints in older clay drain runs here. That matters for cctv drain surveys in Folkestone, because the right fix depends entirely on what the ground is doing to the pipe.
