Working out what you are dealing with
Drainage problems look alike from the top of an inspection chamber, so the first job is establishing which of a small number of situations you actually have.
A one-off blockage. Cleared and done. See blocked drains.
A run that blocks repeatedly. Something structural is catching debris. Needs a CCTV survey before anyone quotes a repair.
A cracked or jointed defect. Usually repairable from the inside by lining.
A collapse or a fall problem. Needs excavation and repair.
The order we work in
Clear first, look second, repair third. Clearing gets the property working again and is often the whole job. The survey then establishes whether there is an underlying cause worth fixing. Only then does anyone talk about excavation.
Anyone who arrives and starts by quoting for a dig has skipped two steps.
Who owns which drain
Since 2011 most shared drainage and the lateral run beyond your boundary sit with the water company rather than the homeowner. The run serving only your property, within your boundary, is normally yours. It is worth knowing before you pay for a repair that may not be your responsibility, and a survey will show which side of the line the defect falls.
Clear first, look second, repair third
Jetting on the van, a camera when it keeps coming back, and a written report you can hand to your insurer.
Emergencies
Sewage backing up into the property, or a chamber overflowing, is an emergency and we take those calls 24 hours a day. A slow-draining sink is not, and can wait for a normal appointment.

Also worth knowing
Who is responsible for a blocked drain or sewer?
Since October 2011 the water company owns the shared sewers and the lateral drain beyond your property boundary, and you own the private drains inside your boundary that serve only your home. If the blockage is in a shared pipe you can report it to Thames Water or Anglian Water for free. If it is on your side, that is where we come in, and a CCTV survey shows exactly which it is.
How much does a CCTV drain survey cost?
CCTV drain surveys start from £180. The price depends on the length and access of the drain run, and you get the recording, a plan of the run and a written report you can pass to a buyer, an insurer or a solicitor.
What causes drains to block?
Inside the house it is nearly always fat, grease and wipes. Outside it is tree roots, collapsed or displaced clay sections on older properties, and silt from surface water. Repeated blockages in the same place are a sign the pipe itself is damaged, which is why we survey rather than just clear a drain that keeps coming back.
