Metro Rod South Yorkshire take pride in delivering drain surveys and CCTV inspections with a first-class service at an affordable price across the entire South Yorkshire area.

This means our customers know they can trust the footage and understand clearly what’s happening in their drains.

Why Do I Need a Drain Survey/ CCTV Inspection?

If you’re thinking of buying a property in South Yorkshire, then deciding to get a CCTV inspection carried out will help ensure that there are no hidden problems with the properties’ drainage system, like roots in the pipes or possible collapsing pipes.

Some individuals move in without even knowing where their drainage system is in relation to their new property and are then unfortunately caught out when they start experiencing drainage issues.

If a CCTV inspection isn’t carried out and it turns out there are faults with the drains, unfortunately, you’ll be responsible for repair costs – which could have been avoided by requesting a CCTV drain survey before purchase.

If you’re thinking of selling a property, a CCTV inspection may help you get more interest in your property, potentially leading to a quicker sale or higher offers. This is because the report will give the potential buyer reassurance that they’re buying ‘the perfect home’, enabling you to prove that there are no faults or defects with the house drainage system.

If you suspect a collapsed pipe at your property, then it’s important to call us straight away as urgent action is required. If a collapsed pipe is left unrepaired or unnoticed, it can affect other parts of your property and potentially contaminate the local environment.

If you’re regularly having issues with blocked drains then there may be an underlying issue with your drains, in which case, a drain survey would help find and diagnose the cause of your recurring drainage issues. The results of your completed drain survey would allow our expert engineers to provide you with helpful and honest advice, recommending a pre-planned maintenance service if required.

If you work within the building/construction industry, it’s extremely useful to have a drain survey before starting any work to make sure that there are no defects with the drains or pipework before you build over them. It’s also useful to carry out a drain survey after the works have been completed to make sure that no damage has occurred during the building work.

Residential Emergency Call Out: Burst Pipe Case Study

We were recently contacted for an emergency call out of for a suspected burst pipe at a domestic property in Sheffield, after the tenant noticed a large amount of water leaking from beneath their wheelchair ramp. Our engineer, Mark, was on his way within an hour of receiving the call to investigate the issue in his fully equipped shiny green van!

When Mark arrived at the property, it was clear that the property had a burst pipe lurking underneath the wheelchair ramp. We knew this would unavoidably require an excavation, so we wanted to make sure we carried out the works quickly without causing any disruption to the tenant. The Metro Roid team will always try and locate the exact whereabouts of a burst pipe before digging!

Once we located the Burst Pipe, we isolated the water supply and began digging up the area, avoiding the pathway and wheelchair ramp. As soon as the water supply was reconnected, a big surge of water leaked from the pipe, which we fixed with a ‘Slide n Seal’. A couple of days later, an engineer returned to reinstate the flag stones back to the original condition, so everything was exactly how it was before the burst pipe.

This burst pipe could have caused a lot of damage but luckily, the client called us as soon as they noticed the leaking water, so we were able to prevent any damage to the property. Metro Rod South Yorkshire fix burst pipes every day across Doncaster, Rotherham, Barnsley & Sheffield. We always aim to provide a fast and reliable plumbing service to all our clients, both domestic and commercial.

What Is a Septic Tank?

The purpose of a septic tank is to collect and hold wastewater from domestic properties. The tank will hold wastewater so that solids settle at the bottom and oil/grease will float to the top. Subsequently, any uncontaminated water can be filtered back into the watercourse.

How to Maintain Your Septic Tank

If your property is connected to a septic tank, it is ’generally’ your responsibility to ensure that it is compliant, emptied, and maintained regularly. Maintenance includes emptying, servicing, and inspection. Our tanker drivers are fully equipped to empty your septic tank and service the pipework, including inspecting the condition using a pole camera. In addition, a full report will be supplied on completion, including Waste Transfer Notes. Maintenance intervals are dependent on multiple factors, particularly how many properties the tank is serving, and the manufacturers guidance.

Flood Relief and Flood Water Extraction Near Me

Are your drains struggling to keep flowing with the heavy rainfall we’ve been having lately? Looking for flood relief and flood water extraction near me in across the South Yorkshire areas?  Or are you struggling with a leaking pipe that is causing a flood at your property? Call Metro Rod South Yorkshire straight away on 01302 772464 for flood relief services across Sheffield, Rotherham, Doncaster, Barnsley, and more. Our new tanker (TANKERBELLE) can provide a quick and efficient method of removing excess flood water and debris to prevent any damage to your South Yorkshire-based property.

Clearing Blocked Drains on Large Sewers with No Water Supply

It’s often difficult clearing blocked drains where there is no water supply as it can mean that the engineer on-site may have to leave to refill his machine with water. The tanker holds a LOT more water than the usual high-pressure water jetting machines, meaning that the drains will be clear in no time without having to leave the site to re-fill in-between. Clearing blocked drains is also more efficient when using our tankers as they use high flows at lower pressure in order to achieve a much more thorough clean.

Emptying Road Gullies in South Yorkshire

Road Gullies are specifically designed to take away surface water and retain debris like leaves and silt, preventing this debris from flowing into the drainage system and causing a flood. However, sometimes the road gullies can become blocked with this debris, this is where Metro Rod South Yorkshire can help!

Our tanker can remove debris using the vacuum and then flush through with high pressured water to make sure that the drains are returned to a serviceable condition. We recommend implementing emptying road gullies as part of your pre-planned maintenance program to avoid waste and debris being disposed of incorrectly and to keep your drains free flowing.
