Because Birmingham's homes range from Victorian terraces to post-war estates and new suburbs, its drains vary just as much. A camera survey shows what is below ground, so nobody has to guess.
Birmingham has a huge spread of inter-war and post-war housing, on a patchwork of clay and concrete drains. Its many street trees and clay soils that move with the seasons add to the strain. So cracked pipes and root blockages are common across the city and its suburbs.
Before you book a survey in Birmingham, these guides may help: no-dig repair vs excavation, drain relining costs per metre and what it costs to unblock a drain.
