CCTV Drain Surveys in Great Leighs

CCTV Drain Surveys for Great Leighs (CM3) properties

Older homes in Great Leighs were plumbed with salt-glazed clay in short sections with mortar joints — the classic entry point for roots. Newer estates use continuous UPVC, which blocks less from roots and more from wipes, fat and misuse. We factor that into every cctv drain surveys job we take in CM3.

Most common drainage problems in Great Leighs
