10 CCTV Surveys for Drains
Posted 1 day ago
Rat infestation dealt with
DCL team checked our drains and eliminated that as the source of rats entering the property and upon inspection of the house they found an entry point. They presented a plan of works to seal the entry point and other areas that showed signs of activity and to bait the loft. Work was carried out swiftly and cleanly and Ian communicated throughout the process what they had found, showed us videos and images to support their findings and next steps. The office staff are very efficient. They know their stuff and we would totally recommend them if you have a rat problem.Verified reviewerJob location: GU519 Drainage Investigation

Investigating into rodent holes around drain
Identified hole on drain where rodents had dug away and coming up through the grass. Re cemented hole to stop issue, cleaned out drains and re set drain into grass and cemented to finish. Work completed to a very high standard and communicated the issue throughout.Verified reviewerJob location: RG22RMichael S10 Soakaway Clearance

Thank you for looking at our Checkatrade page!
We are a small team of drainage and plumbing experts, bringing you over 20 years of experience in the industry.
We use top quality, leading drainage clearance equipment which is designed to have the job completed efficiently the first time.
We cover all aspects of drainage and plumbing; from drain camera rat investigations, to unblocking sinks and fixing taps.
We have enough experience to diagnose the problem over the phone, and therefore have fixed prices that remain the same.
We also have some new, improved gutter cleaning equipment that allows us to show you camera footage of the blockage, both before and after the clean. This gives you peace of mind that the cleaning has been carried out effectively.
We carry out an enhanced “soak-away treatment process” that aims to keep your soak-aways clean and maintained: this is far cheaper than a full replacement which can run into thousands of pounds!
We feel that we are big enough to cope but small enough to care. It may sound strange, but we enjoy our job! It can be a household task that many homeowners will not wish to tackle, so let us do the dirty work for you.
