CCTV Drain Surveys in Cardiff

Many properties in Cardiff still rely on original Victorian clay pipe drainage, which is prone to cracking, root ingress, and collapse after more than a century of service. Our engineers regularly deal with deteriorated clay pipes across the area and carry the specialist equipment needed to clear, inspect, and repair them.

Cardiff still relies on a combined sewer system in many areas, carrying both rainwater and wastewater in the same pipe. During heavy rainfall, these systems can become overwhelmed — leading to slow drainage, backups, and sometimes localised flooding.

Cardiff's proximity to the River Taff means properties near the water often deal with higher water tables and drainage systems that can back up during heavy rain or high river levels. We regularly attend call-outs in riverside areas where these conditions cause problems.

Parts of Cardiff sit in flood-prone areas, which means drainage systems need to cope with heavy rainfall and potential surface water flooding. We provide rapid emergency response when flooding hits and can survey your drains to check they're prepared for the next downpour.
