Manchester's dense Victorian terraces and rapid new development put real strain on drainage. A CCTV survey is the quickest way to find the cause of a problem in older shared systems.
Large areas of Manchester are served by original Victorian sewers and shared back-to-back drainage, where one defect can affect several properties. High rainfall and ageing pipework make blockages and surcharging a recurring theme, particularly in the older inner suburbs.
Common drainage problems in Manchester
These are the faults we most often find in Manchester properties. However, only a camera survey confirms exactly which of them apply to yours.
- Surcharging and backing-up on older combined sewers
- Shared back-to-back drainage where one defect affects several homes
- Root and joint failures in original Victorian clay pipes
- Blockages worsened by high rainfall and ground movement
How much is a drain survey in Manchester?
There's no single price for a survey, repair or unblocking job in Manchester, because every system is different — the exact cost depends on the size and accessibility of your drains and the work involved. We quote every job up front, with no obligation.
