Homebuyer Drain Surveys in Egham , Surrey

We provide a complete high-definition video walkthrough of your underground drainage system. Our report includes a detailed look at the structural integrity of the pipes, a map of the inspection chambers, and a list of any defects such as fractures, root ingress, or scale build-up. We also provide a fixed-price quote for any necessary repairs, so you have all the facts for your solicitors.

This depends on where the blockage is. Under the 2011 Private Sewers Transfer, you are responsible for the drains inside your property boundary that serve only your home. Once the pipe connects with a neighbour’s pipe or leaves your property boundary, it becomes a "lateral drain" or public sewer, which is the responsibility of Thames Water. Our CCTV survey clearly identifies where your responsibility ends.

Yes. We use trenchless technology, including ambient-cured epoxy resin liners and localized patch repairs. We insert a sleeve inside the damaged section and inflate it until it bonds to the old pipe. This fixes the leak and restores structural strength without disturbing your driveway or landscaping.

If we find root intrusion during a survey, we use mechanical root cutters and high-pressure water jetting to clear the obstruction. To prevent the roots from growing back through the same joints, we usually recommend a structural patch liner to seal the pipe permanently.

Simply Drainage 24-7 never charges a call-out fee, regardless of the time or day. We provide transparent, upfront quotes before any work begins, whether it is a midnight emergency unblocking in Langley or a scheduled survey in Slough.

Repeated blockages often mean there is a structural issue deeper in the system, such as a partial collapse, a heavy build-up of mineral scale, or a dip in the pipe that traps debris. A quick plunge only clears the surface; we use CCTV to find the root cause so we can fix it once and for all.

Yes. Pitch fibre is a major concern for properties of a certain age in the Slough area. We look for signs of delamination or "squashed" pipes. If we find pitch fibre that is still structurally sound, we can often re-round it and line it to save you the cost of a full excavation.
