Edinburgh's tenements, Georgian terraces and conservation areas demand careful, non-destructive drainage diagnosis. Camera surveys deliver exactly that.
Edinburgh's protected Georgian and Victorian terraces and its many shared tenement stairs mean drainage is often communal and access is sensitive. Original stoneware and clay pipes, combined with mature trees, lead to joint failures and root-related faults.

These are the faults we most often find in Edinburgh properties. However, only a camera survey confirms exactly which of them apply to yours.
- Communal drainage shared across tenement stairs
- Joint failures in original stoneware and clay pipes
- Sensitive access in conservation areas and listed terraces
- Root ingress from mature trees in established suburbs
