A CCTV drain survey is especially useful in Blunsdon, where the area sits on the transition between Swindon's urban drainage and the rural north. Pipework can change era and material along a single run. Our cameras show exactly what is underground, from historic village clay to recent Tadpole Garden Village plastic.
Blunsdon combines historic village drainage with modern estate systems at the interface between Swindon's urban area and the rural north. The River Ray creates groundwater influence in lower areas, and the transition zones between different drainage eras in the village and estate areas require careful problem diagnosis.
