In Rayleigh we are particularly good at drain surveys and investigations
There’s no doubt about it, moving home is expensive, and Rayleigh Home Buyer’s structural surveys used to be relatively straightforward.
A building surveyor would attend the Rayleigh 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 Rayleigh Essex SS6. 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 Rayleigh properties.

A note about Rayleigh commercial property drains
We specialise in CCTV drain surveys for all sorts of Rayleigh commercial projects from major construction sites to Rayleigh building plots as well as hospitals, shopping centres or Rayleigh office blocks.
We are proud to say that we are the right Rayleigh CCTV drain survey and investigation service for whatever size. We deliver professional reports to the industry standard detailing everything you need to know about the drains at your site.
Drain locating, plotting and mapping in and around Rayleigh
We use the latest sonde and tracing technology throughout Essex, so we can plot drains by sending a camera with a pulse wave emitting sonde and plot its course with a receiver as it traverses the pipe. We will of course supply you with a comprehensive indicative map of what we’ve found with depths and direction.
Illegal connections in Rayleigh 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 Rayleigh drainage connections range from innocent DIY plumbing mistakes to poor building practices. We regularly find washing machines discharging to the Essex rain drains and rain drains that discharge into a sewer some times because some Rayleigh home owners have been unaware of the differences between surface water and foul waste drains. However the water company serving Rayleigh will demand to put these issues right at your own cost.

Drain unblocked

Blocked kitchen sink drain
“I noticed that the patio was awash with soapy water and realised that the drain leading from the kitchen sink was blocked and overflowing. I phoned Happy Drains and they were so helpful. Arranged for someone to call round between 1 and 3. I arrived home at 12.55 to find them patiently waiting outside. They were very friendly and helpful. Did a thorough job clearing the drain, lifting the manhole cover and making sure the water was flowing freely. I was delighted with their service and would definitely recommend them.”
