Direct Drains was among the first companies to recognise that careful surveying above and below ground is often the key to speedy and accurate diagnosis of the true cause of an observed problem. It is also the only professionally rigorous way to be reassured that drains are in satisfactory condition.
Through our long experience of surveying we have developed equipment and techniques that lead the industry. We show clearly the reasons for our recommendations using the unambiguous information from the surveys and stills photographs taken from the videos from inside the drain in our reports. We also give second opinions on reports and photography produced by others.
This is an example of an above-ground drainage layout:

A report is produced to a standard format that provides all the technical information required to support a professional decision on any action required.

With such excellent information available Direct Drains lives up to its reputation as quick, clean and efficient, going accurately and economically straight to the problem and solving it. Direct Drains can even correct problems of damage underground without extensive excavation using its "no dig" permanent pipe renovation system.
