CCTV Drain Surveys for Patcham (BN1) properties

Older homes in Patcham 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 BN1.

Most common drainage problems in Patcham

  • Displaced joints and misalignment caused by ground movement
  • Root ingress at clay pipe joints on tree-lined streets around Patcham
  • Shared drainage disputes between neighbouring or converted properties
  • Surface water flooding where downpipes discharge into foul drains
  • Silted and overflowing gullies after heavy rain in BN1
