Edinburgh's tenements, Georgian terraces and conservation areas call for a careful look at the drains, with no digging. A camera survey does just that.
Edinburgh has many protected Georgian and Victorian terraces and shared tenement stairs. So the drains tend to be shared, and access needs care. Old stoneware and clay pipes, along with mature trees, lead to joint failures and root faults.
Before you book a survey in Edinburgh, these guides may help: whether you need a drain survey when buying, what it costs to unblock a drain and drain relining costs per metre.
