I wanted to say a big thank you to Cotswold Drainage who unblocked a couple of drains for me on Friday. The team were really efficient and arranged a prompt call out and Adrian the engineer turned up at the appointed time. He really worked hard to ensure the problem was resolved despite one of the drains being really difficult to access and extremely smelly and unpleasant to deal with. He also gave me good advice on what he could ascertain about the drain fall, what had caused the problem and steps to take to avoid a recurrence. I was really impressed.

    What is a CCTV Drain Survey?

    A CCTV drain survey is a comprehensive inspection of your drainage system using advanced camera technology. It allows our team to inspect the drains without any excavation or disruption to your property. This method can identify issues such as blockages, leaks, root intrusion and structural damage.
