Drain inspections
At Lanes, our rigorous drain inspections process will deliver total clarity about the condition of your pipes. We go further than simply identifying blockages, and will instead give you a clear picture of the overall condition of your drainage system. Drain inspections are useful not only when you are investigating a problem, but to aid you in the care and maintenance of your drainage system, which can help prevent problems before they arise.
Our drain inspections and sewer line testing process includes:
- Undertaking CCTV inspections and leak tracing of manholes, chambers, drains and sewers, utilising specialised high-resolution digital camera tools
- Using sonde and trace techniques, which involve sending a small sonde sensor down the pipes to trace its signal from the surface. This sewer camera inspection approach allows us to locate blockages and collapses in non-metallic sewers, drains and pipes
- Analysing the data and findings from our drain inspections to present you with a written report, alongside recommendations for the best solution to the problem
- Repairing any structural defects and leaks we find as soon as they have been identified
We have years of experience delivering drain and sewer line inspections for domestic and commercial clients, including local authorities, utility companies and consultants. No job is too big or small for Lanes, and we will always strive to find a solution that delivers the greatest benefit with the smallest amount of disruption for you.
Manhole inspection services
In many cases, manhole inspections will be carried out using CCTV technology because it is often easier to access the pipes in this way, reducing the health and safety risk to drainage engineers while delivering reliable and accurate inspection services. However, under some circumstances it may be necessary for specially trained engineers to enter the system via a manhole inspection chamber.
Thanks to our expertise and the wide range of drain inspections services we offer, we can always ensure that we meet your specific requirements in the most efficient and cost-effective way possible, repairing any existing damage, removing blockages and recommending maintenance that can prevent flooding, leaks and other emergencies in the future.
Depending on the utility company you are signed up with, drainage inspections may be covered under the terms of their operating licence, so we would recommend double-checking with them before booking a session with us.
