Drainage in Rushmoor.

Drainage surveys in Rushmoor start with a CCTV push-rod or crawler inspection of the full run – essential in former garrison stock where as-laid plans either do not exist or were never transferred to civilian records. The footage establishes exact pipe condition, material, diameter, and gradient before any remedial decision is made.

Cast-iron drainage, which is the dominant material in Aldershot and the older Farnborough terraces across GU11 and GU12, deteriorates through internal corrosion and joint separation rather than root intrusion. The result is typically slow collapse or chronic flat-bottom blockage rather than a sudden failure, which means it can go undetected until a CCTV survey reveals the extent. Where the pipe structure is sound enough to accept lining, no-dig CIPP relining restores full bore without excavation. Where the run has degraded beyond that threshold, targeted excavation and replacement is specified – always preceded by those MOD-history checks to confirm there are no conflicting services.

High-pressure jetting clears partial obstructions and prepares the internal surface ahead of any lining. All findings are issued in a written report with CCTV stills for planning consent and insurance purposes. No callout fee; fixed price after survey. See /pricing.
