Questions

Emergency Call-Out FAQs for London homeowners

Why is a CCTV survey necessary for an emergency call-out?

A CCTV survey provides immediate, irrefutable visual evidence of the defect's nature and location. This prevents unnecessary excavation or incorrect treatment, ensures the correct solution is applied, and generates the documentation required for insurance or legal purposes.

What does WRc-style defect classification mean in your reports?

We adhere to the WRc standard coding system for drain and sewer defects. This provides a universally recognised technical description (e.g., codes for root intrusion, fractures, deposits) that is precise and authoritative for professional stakeholders like surveyors and insurers.

How quickly can you provide the written report after the emergency?

A preliminary report with key images and defect codes is typically available on-site. A comprehensive, formatted written report suitable for official submission is generated and delivered within 24 hours of the job completion.

Is the documentation from an emergency call-out valid for property conveyance?

Yes. Our reports are structured to meet the due diligence requirements of property transactions, providing a clear, technically accurate snapshot of the drainage system's condition at the time of the emergency, which can inform pre-purchase enquiries or management handovers.

Do you service both commercial and residential properties across London?

Yes. Our emergency diagnostic service is deployed for a range of properties, from multi-tenant residential blocks in areas like Islington or Kensington to commercial premises across Central and Greater London, adapting survey scope to the system's size and complexity.
