Why Choose Us?

What Exactly is a Manhole Inspection for Your Runcorn Property?

Think of a manhole inspection as giving your underground drainage system a thorough health check. Manholes are vital access points to your sewers and drains. Over time, or due to external factors, what lies beneath them can cause serious problems. Our skilled engineers use advanced CCTV camera technology to venture deep into your pipework, starting from these access points. We'll identify blockages, cracks, collapses, root ingress, or any other structural defects that might be causing you grief. For Runcorn properties, especially older ones, understanding the condition of these unseen pipes is incredibly important.

Signs You Need a Manhole Check in Runcorn

How do you know it's time to call in the experts for a manhole inspection? Several clues suggest you might have an issue brewing:

  • Recurring Blockages: If your drains keep backing up, even after a basic unblock, there's likely a deeper problem a manhole inspection can pinpoint.
  • Foul Odours: Persistent, unpleasant smells around your property, particularly near manholes, can signal a drainage defect.
  • Slow Drainage: Water taking ages to disappear down sinks or toilets points to partial blockages or damaged pipes.
  • Subsidence or Damp: Any unexpected dips in your garden or damp patches could indicate a collapsed or leaking drain line.
  • Buying a Home: A pre-purchase drain survey, often including manhole inspections, is essential when buying property in Runcorn to avoid inheriting expensive problems.
  • Building Work: If you're building an extension over or near a public sewer, United Utilities often requires a build-over survey, which naturally involves inspecting accessible manholes.
