What this job actually involves

Pitch fibre drain inspection — how it works here

Pitch fibre was laid in enormous quantities during the years Birchwood was built. It is not a defective product so much as a product with a service life, and that life is now largely behind it. The characteristic failure is not a crack but a slow flattening — the pipe goes oval under load, the bore reduces, and eventually the wall delaminates into blisters that catch everything passing.

Camera survey to establish whether the run is pitch fibre in the first place
Degree of deformation measured, not estimated — a slightly oval run is not the same as a collapsing one
Delamination and blistering identified where it has begun
An honest view on whether it needs doing now, soon, or simply watching
Where reforming is realistic and where replacement is the only sensible answer
The footage, so a second opinion on cost is possible without a second survey

Questions about pitch fibre drain inspection

Is pitch fibre always a problem?

No. Plenty of it is still carrying flow adequately after fifty years. What matters is how far it has deformed and whether the wall has started to break down. Those are both visible on camera, and both are the difference between a quote and a note in the diary.

Can pitch fibre be repaired rather than replaced?

Sometimes. Reforming and lining can work where the pipe still has enough structural integrity to hold its shape afterwards. Where it has delaminated badly, it usually cannot. We tell you which situation you are in — we are not the ones selling the repair either way.

Other surveys we carry out

Pre-purchase drain survey Before you exchange on a WA3 house, find out what the homebuyer report could not see. Blocked drain investigation For the blockage that keeps returning to the same place. Drain tracing and mapping Where the pipes actually run, marked on the ground rather than guessed at. Subsidence drain investigation When a building is moving, the drainage is one of the first things to rule in or out. Post-repair verification survey Independent confirmation that the work you paid for was actually done. Homebuyer report follow-up Your surveyor wrote “further investigation of the drainage is recommended”. This is that investigation. Root ingress survey For the mature trees of Croft, Culcheth and the WA3 villages — and what they are doing underground.
