Fauldhouse CCTV Drain Surveys
Need cctv drain surveys in Fauldhouse? We answer the phone 24 hours a day and attend urgent work the same day wherever we can. Most Fauldhouse calls are answered inside a couple of rings, including at 3am.
To summarise: 20+ years on Fauldhouse drainage, no call-out fee, and cctv drain surveys carried out with jetting and camera equipment carried on the van. We tell you when a repair is not needed as readily as when it is.
Why Fauldhouse properties call us
Fauldhouse sits high and wet on the southern edge of West Lothian, where surface water and silt cause more blockages than anything that happens inside the house.
High, exposed ground and heavy rainfall push a lot of surface water and silt into gullies that were never sized for it. Two properties on the same street can still need completely different approaches.
Shared and private runs sit side by side across Fauldhouse's upland former mining housing and exposed surface water runs, so ownership is established before work starts. Two properties on the same street can still need completely different approaches.
Whether you are one of the homeowners, landlords we already look after or a first-time caller, the Fauldhouse process is the same. Fauldhouse sits in the round we cover daily, so this is routine rather than a special trip.
Our route into Fauldhouse runs via the A71 from the yard in Pumpherston. Nothing about the location changes the rate you are quoted.
Fauldhouse is roughly 9 miles from Livingston and firmly inside our everyday patch. If a second engineer is needed for access or safety, that is arranged before we set out.
A CCTV survey removes the guesswork. We push a camera through the full private drainage run, record it, and give you a plain-English report on what we found and what, if anything, needs doing.
Recurring blockages almost always have a visible cause on camera — a root mass, a step joint or a partial collapse. We see the same sequence often enough in Fauldhouse to know what to look for.

How we do the work in Fauldhouse
Dye and smoke testing settles cross-connection and misconnection arguments quickly when the camera cannot get a clear answer. Catching it at that stage is the difference between a clearance and a repair.
Cameras are self-levelling with on-screen metreage, so the defect position is recorded to the metre for any later repair. Fauldhouse sits in the round we cover daily, so this is routine rather than a special trip.

Fauldhouse drainage FAQs
Do you provide a written report for Fauldhouse landlords and factors?
We do — photographs, camera footage and a plain-English summary of the cause, which is usually what a factor or insurer needs before agreeing a West Lothian shared cost. Most people in Fauldhouse ask this, so you are not alone.
What should I do before you arrive in Fauldhouse?
Stop using water in the property if it is backing up, clear access to the chamber if you can find it, and take a photo of the overflow — it helps us bring the right kit to Fauldhouse first time. Ring 07427 195142 if you want that checked before booking.
How long does a typical Fauldhouse visit take?
A straightforward clearance is usually under an hour. A survey of a full run takes longer because we record the footage properly. Either way you are told the likely duration before we set off for EH47. We will put the answer in writing if you need it for a third party.
Can you find the drain if I do not know where the chamber is?
That is routine. We trace the run with a camera and sonde, mark the chamber position, and leave you with a note of where it sits — useful information for any future Fauldhouse owner. We will put the answer in writing if you need it for a third party.
How long does a survey take?
A typical domestic survey takes one to two hours on site, and you get the footage and report afterwards.
Do I get a copy of the footage?
Yes — the recording is supplied along with a written report you can pass to a solicitor, insurer or factor.
Can you survey a drain that is currently blocked?
We clear it first, otherwise the camera cannot see the pipe wall. Clearance and survey are often done in the same visit.
