What Our Clients Say About Devon and Cornwall Drainage

"Had a completely blocked toilet on a Sunday morning. Called Devon and Cornwall Drainage and they were here within a couple of hours. The engineer was brilliant, sorted the problem quickly with his jetting machine. The fixed price of £199 was exactly as advertised, with no nasty surprises. The free camera check afterwards was a great bonus. Highly recommended."

Sarah T., Exeter

"Our kitchen sink has been slow-draining for months. After trying every chemical from the supermarket, we finally called the experts. They cleared a massive grease blockage and then used a camera to show us the pipe was clear. Professional, tidy, and very knowledgeable. A fantastic, reliable local service."

Mark P., Barnstaple

"Excellent emergency service! We had an overflowing drain outside causing a real mess. The team responded quickly, even late at night, and were incredibly professional. They got everything flowing again and cleaned up the area thoroughly. Can't thank them enough for their prompt and efficient work."

David and Jane L., Torquay

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about our CCTV drain surveys in Topsham, Exeter, and across Devon.

What is a home buyers drainage survey and do I need one in Topsham?

+

A home buyers drainage survey is a comprehensive camera inspection of the drains at a property you intend to buy. Many older properties in Topsham and the surrounding Devon area have historic clay pipes that are prone to cracking or root ingress. Getting a survey stops you from inheriting a severely damaged drainage system, saving you thousands of pounds in unexpected repairs down the line.

How much does a CCTV drain survey cost in Exeter and Devon?

+

If you have a blocked drain, we highly recommend our £199 fixed-price domestic drain unblocking service. This fixed price has zero call-out fees and includes a free follow-up CCTV inspection. If you simply need a stand-alone survey, for a property purchase or a build-over agreement, please call our Topsham office for a highly competitive, fixed quote based on your property size.

Will the drain camera inspection find root ingress?

+

Yes. Tree roots are a major cause of blocked drains across Devon and Cornwall. Tiny hairline roots seek out moisture, forcing their way into pipe joints where they grow into massive blockages. Our high-definition cameras easily spot root ingress, allowing us to plan the right cutting or jetting approach to clear the pipe.

Do you offer emergency drain clearance if the survey finds a major blockage?

+

Absolutely. We provide genuine 24/7 emergency responses. If our survey uncovers a serious blockage causing immediate flood risks or foul odours, our vans carry all the necessary high-pressure water jetting equipment to clear the line on the very same day.
