Malmesbury CCTV Drain Survey & Drainage Investigation
Wiltshire, SN16


In Malmesbury we are particularly good at drain surveys and investigations
There’s no doubt about it, moving home is expensive, and Malmesbury Home Buyer’s structural surveys used to be relatively straightforward.
A building surveyor would attend the Malmesbury house you were going to buy and undertake inspection, ranging from the entry level ‘valuation’ up to the ‘full structural’, none of which were cheap. The majority of buyers would opt for the entry level and least expensive option their mortgage lender would accept in Malmesbury Wiltshire SN16. Against a backdrop of litigation and a compensation culture, surveyors have had no choice but to add disclaimers about anything he or she can’t actually see or inspect, especially underground services like drains.
Hence the recent additional need of a specialist drainage survey for Malmesbury properties.

Illegal connections in Malmesbury and other dodgy works
During the course of any survey we will take the opportunity to make sure that all your drains are connected appropriately.
The causes of illegal Malmesbury drainage connections range from innocent DIY plumbing mistakes to poor building practices. We regularly find washing machines discharging to the Wiltshire rain drains and rain drains that discharge into a sewer some times because some Malmesbury home owners have been unaware of the differences between surface water and foul waste drains. However the water company serving Malmesbury will demand to put these issues right at your own cost.

Cleared the blockage completely using his jets and camera. Such a nice bloke (Chris), had a laugh and definitely made us feel comfortable.

Unblocking of drain
"Great communication from start to finish. Engineer was friendly, helpful & sorted the issue quickly. "
Heavily blocked waste pipes.
"Fantastic service and employees. Arranging the appointment was exceptionally easy as the people on the phones were friendly and efficient. Jason from Happy Drains arrived on time and even called ahead to let us know exactly when he'd be arriving. Jason was polite and friendly from beginning to end. He sorted out the problem far quicker than expected considering the dire state of the blockage. After he'd done a wonderful job he then explained exactly how it had happened in detail, what needed to be fixed and told me some preventative measures to help avoid the problem from recurring until then."
The main drain from bathroom blocked. Backed up to kitchen drain.
"This was my 87 yr old mother's house. We lifted the manhole cover thinking maybe we could unblock it, but it was full. So any water drainage was just overflowing. Euch!! A neighbour recommended Happy Drains. Phoned them about 9.30 Saturday morning. They were with her by 6. They kept in contact all day to let us know the expected arrival time. Super friendly, excellent communication, good price. Great service, especially for my elderly mum. Thankyou"
