Drainage CCTV Surveys in Newington
A surprising share of subsidence claims in Edinburgh trace back to a cracked drain washing fines out of the ground beneath a foundation. Our CCTV crawler cameras give you a clear picture of what is happening below the slab, with a written report and recommendations you can hand straight to an insurer. Newington's solid four-storey tenements run up to the edge of Arthur's Seat. The basalt geology gives most foundations good bearing, but localised pockets of glacial till still cause differential settlement on rear extensions.
Why Newington keeps us busy
Every working week we are somewhere in Newington, often within a short walk of the Royal Commonwealth Pool and Holyrood Park. The building stock here has its own character, and the ground beneath it has its own habits. Knowing both is the difference between a fix that lasts and a repair you have to revisit.

Drainage CCTV Surveys done properly
The drains keep blocking. The ground above them feels soft. Your insurer is asking for evidence before they accept the claim. Without a survey you are guessing. Excavating the wrong section costs thousands, and a missed defect on the same run will undo any repair within months.
A WRc-coded CCTV survey records every defect on every metre of pipe, traces the line on the surface and produces a report your engineer and insurer can act on without ambiguity.
Three things Newington owners get from us
- Local context. We know which streets in Newington sit on made ground, which ones drain badly, and which ones have a tree problem. The first visit reflects that.
- Engineer-signed work. Every scheme we put in is signed off by a chartered structural engineer before any tools come out of the van.
- Reports your insurer recognises. Cause, scheme, photographs, costs. The format the loss adjusters in this city already know.
