HD push-rod and crawler cameras with sonde tracing — full WRc-coded report supplied for insurance, pre-purchase or build-over.
If a vendor in PR3 has flagged "previous drain issues", you want to see the pipe, not take their word for it. Plan PR3 jobs to combine rural off-mains visits with high-street grease cleans efficiently. We push HD camera up to 80m of 100mm line, sonde-trace any unmapped runs, and turn the written report around inside 24 hours — fast enough to keep a moving chain moving.
