Drainage CCTV Surveys in Tollcross

A surprising share of subsidence claims in Edinburgh trace back to a cracked drain washing fines out of the ground beneath a foundation. Our CCTV crawler cameras give you a clear picture of what is happening below the slab, with a written report and recommendations you can hand straight to an insurer. Tollcross sits on the route of the old Lochrin Burn, now culverted. Where the historic watercourse passes beneath buildings, seasonal damp and minor settlement around basements come up regularly.

Why Tollcross keeps us busy

Every working week we are somewhere in Tollcross, often within a short walk of the King's Theatre and Lochrin Basin. The building stock here has its own character, and the ground beneath it has its own habits. Knowing both is the difference between a fix that lasts and a repair you have to revisit.

Drainage CCTV Surveys done properly

The drains keep blocking. The ground above them feels soft. Your insurer is asking for evidence before they accept the claim. Without a survey you are guessing. Excavating the wrong section costs thousands, and a missed defect on the same run will undo any repair within months.

A WRc-coded CCTV survey records every defect on every metre of pipe, traces the line on the surface and produces a report your engineer and insurer can act on without ambiguity.

Three things Tollcross owners get from us

  • Local context. We know which streets in Tollcross sit on made ground, which ones drain badly, and which ones have a tree problem. The first visit reflects that.
  • Engineer-signed work. Every scheme we put in is signed off by a chartered structural engineer before any tools come out of the van.
  • Reports your insurer recognises. Cause, scheme, photographs, costs. The format the loss adjusters in this city already know.
