Stafford CCTV Drain Survey & Drainage Investigation
Staffordshire, ST16


In Stafford we are particularly good at drain surveys and investigations
There’s no doubt about it, moving home is expensive, and Stafford Home Buyer’s structural surveys used to be relatively straightforward.
A building surveyor would attend the Stafford 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 Stafford Staffordshire ST16. 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 Stafford properties.
Is your Stafford property served by a septic tank or a sewage treatment plant?

Drain locating, plotting and mapping in and around Stafford
We use the latest sonde and tracing technology throughout Staffordshire, 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 Stafford 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 Stafford drainage connections range from innocent DIY plumbing mistakes to poor building practices. We regularly find washing machines discharging to the Staffordshire rain drains and rain drains that discharge into a sewer some times because some Stafford home owners have been unaware of the differences between surface water and foul waste drains. However the water company serving Stafford will demand to put these issues right at your own cost.

Quickest and easiest unblocking i've seen!
"After so many expensive quotes from other companies regarding a clogged drain outside our kitchen window - Happy Drains answered our questions on Checkatrade and gave us a set quote - After talking to them on the phone, the team were kind, honest and fully transparent about how the day would go - One of their team members (unfortunately didn't get his name) came over, took one look at the drain, unblocked it and was on his merry way! Will definitely be recommending this company to friends and family!! Thank you so much team!"
Blocked Outside Drain
"Very friendly lads, got the job done super quick. Absolutely no complaints and would happily use again"
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."
Outside runoff drain to mains was backed up and overflowing.
"Called them on a Saturday when the drain was especially playing up and within 20 minutes they rang back with the job booked in for the Monday. Friendly, prompt service on the phone, same again when the fella turned up. Done in 10 minutes. Didn't have to pay him then and there, but instead was issued online invoice and link to super-simple payment procedure. Brilliant. Highly recommended; will definitely use them again - just hope I won't have to! "

Blocked drain
"They came back to us quickly with an all inclusive quote. I booked straight away and they were here the next day as agreed. The engineer was very courteous and just got on with the job. He was done quickly and cleared up. Excellent service. I would highly recommend this company."
Blocked drain
"Amazing service. I couldn't recommend these guys highly enough. I don't have his name but the young man who came took well over 2 hours to fix our problem which had accumulated over 40 years. He kept everything tidy, was courteous and professional and just when I thought we were going to be left with a major problem his persistence & experience saved the day. "
