Manchester's dense Victorian terraces and fast new building put real strain on its drains. A CCTV survey is a quick way to find the cause of a problem in older shared systems.
Large parts of Manchester still rely on Victorian sewers and shared back-to-back drains, where one defect can affect several homes. High rainfall and old pipes make blockages and backed-up sewers a common theme, most of all in the older inner suburbs.
Before you book a survey in Manchester, these guides may help: no-dig repair vs excavation, what it costs to unblock a drain and the signs of a collapsed drain.
