Drainage CCTV Surveys in Portobello

Why Portobello keeps us busy

Every working week we are somewhere in Portobello, often within a short walk of Portobello Promenade and Joppa. 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.

Portobello's terraces back onto soft sand and the old railway alignment. Where surface water and sandy subsoils meet aged Victorian drains, washouts and minor settlement crop up regularly.

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 Portobello owners get from us

• Local context. We know which streets in Portobello 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.
