With extensive experience across the commercial and industrial drainage sector, and access to the latest survey and diagnostic technology, our team delivers clear, practical, and reliable technical advice that you can act on with confidence.
What Our Technical Support Service Covers
Our technical support service is tailored to the specific needs of each client and project. We work with developers, main contractors, civil engineers, and property and facilities management companies at every stage of the project lifecycle. Our capabilities include:
- Drainage design consultation: Working alongside your design team at the earliest project stage, we provide expert input on drainage system design, layout, and specification — ensuring your drainage solution is fit for purpose, compliant, and cost-effective from the outset
- New and virgin site development: For greenfield and previously undeveloped sites, we assess existing ground conditions, establish drainage requirements, and support the development of a robust drainage strategy tailored to the proposed use
- Existing site development and redevelopment: When working with sites that have established drainage infrastructure, we investigate, map, and assess the existing drain network to understand its condition, capacity, and suitability for the planned development
- Drain network investigation and mapping: Using CCTV survey technology, we inspect and document underground drainage networks — providing accurate, up-to-date records of pipe routes, conditions, and connection points
- Drainage problem diagnosis: Where drainage systems are underperforming or failing, our engineers carry out a thorough investigation to identify root causes and recommend the most appropriate and cost-effective remedial solution
- Detailed technical reporting: We produce clear, comprehensive written reports covering survey findings, drainage assessments, recommended actions, and supporting data — suitable for use in planning applications, design submissions, and project documentation
- Compliance and regulatory guidance: We advise on drainage-related compliance requirements, including Building Regulations, planning conditions, and relevant industry standards — helping you navigate regulatory obligations with confidence

The Right Technology, Backed by Real Expertise
Drain Alert invests in the latest drainage survey and diagnostic technology to ensure our technical support is grounded in accurate, reliable data. Our CCTV drain survey equipment allows us to produce high-definition footage and detailed condition assessments of underground drainage systems — giving you a precise picture of what is happening beneath the surface.
This technology, combined with our team’s practical experience across a wide range of commercial and industrial drainage projects, means we can move quickly from investigation to insight — and from insight to a clear recommended course of action.
