Drain Investigation Services

Recurring drainage problems often point to an underlying issue below ground. Clear Drain Services provides comprehensive drain investigations across Ellesmere Port, Wirral and Cheshire using advanced CCTV equipment, detection tools and specialist testing methods.

Before any excavation or repair work begins, we identify the exact cause of the problem — saving time, cost and unnecessary disruption.

Our investigation services combine modern technology with practical experience to accurately diagnose drainage faults.

Advanced CCTV Equipment

High-definition cameras allow us to inspect drains in detail, identifying structural faults, blockages and hidden damage.

Drain Dye Testing

Dye testing helps trace water flow and detect leaks, incorrect connections and drainage crossovers that may not be visible through CCTV alone.

Tree Root Intrusion Detection

Tree roots are a common cause of recurring blockages and pipe damage. Our investigations identify root ingress and assess the extent of structural impact.

Accurate Drain Tracing

Using specialist detection equipment, we precisely locate underground pipework and problem areas before any excavation work begins.
CCTV Surveys, Dye Testing & Fault Detection

Our investigation services combine modern technology with practical experience to accurately diagnose drainage faults.

We carry out:

  • CCTV drain surveys to inspect pipework internally
  • Sonde tracing to locate underground pipe routes
  • Drain dye testing to identify leaks, cross connections or misdirected flows
  • High-pressure jetting where required to clear access before inspection

Using high-definition cameras, we can detect cracks, collapses, displaced joints and structural damage without unnecessary digging.

We provide clear explanations of our findings and recommend the most practical solution, whether that’s clearance, repair, relining or excavation.
