Early Symptoms
As a rule, most symptoms of drain damage fall into one of two categories: drainage issues and knock-on effects.
Drainage issues could be anything from slow drainage and pooling to full-on backing up i.e. when you flush the toilet water appears in the sink.
Knock-on effects take longer to appear and can be more serious. These include unpleasant smells, dampness, mould, and even, in extreme cases, pest infections.
All of this is to say that it’s important to recognise those early symptoms for what they are and not just a quirk of your system.
Booking A CCTV Drain Survey in London
So you’ve noticed something behaving in a way it shouldn’t. What now?
Before diving into costly drain repairs, the best way to proceed is with a survey. Here at Environ, we offer CCTV drain surveys in London, using a high-definition camera to probe out your pipes and pinpoint the cause of the problem.
This allows for a far more accurate diagnosis allowing you to fix the problem quickly and cost-effectively.
Repair or Replace
After a survey, the next step is to decide whether to repair or replace your drain system. As a rule, most problems can just be repaired but there are times when it may be more cost-effective to replace large parts of your system—particularly if they’re made from old materials that have begun to break down due to wear and tear.
Here at Environ Drainage, we’re always happy to help our customers find the solution that’s right for them. Our expert team have years of experience and they can offer tailored solutions to find the best match for your dilemma.
