CCTV Survey in Armagh
Armagh's separate sewer system and predominantly postwar housing stock (32% of properties) mean blockage diagnosis and pre-purchase surveys are routine jobs. Many Victorian and Edwardian properties (14% and 8%) have clay drains that need regular inspection. We use HD CCTV to inspect pipes across BT61, BT62, BT63 and BT64 postcodes, identifying blockages, root ingress, and structural issues before they worsen.
CCTV drain survey in Armagh provides HD video inspection of pipes across BT61–BT64 postcodes. Detects blockages, root ingress, and corrosion from soft water. WinCan reports accepted by mortgage lenders and insurers. Essential for pre-purchase checks on Victorian and older properties.
Drainage in Armagh — what local engineers know
Northern Ireland Water and Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Council oversee drainage in the area. The soft water supply (slightly acidic pH) accelerates corrosion of older copper and lead pipework, making pre-purchase CCTV inspection critical before you inherit hidden costs. Separate sewer misconnections—where washing machines or surface water pipes accidentally drain into foul sewers—are common here and can trigger environmental enforcement action. Ageing infrastructure means grease, wipes, and root ingress are the most frequent blockage causes, particularly in Victorian clay pipes. Flood risk is low, but the River Bann and River Lagan run nearby.
- Soft water supply reduces limescale, but slightly acidic pH can accelerate corrosion of copper fittings and lead joints in older Armagh properties
- Separate sewer system across most of Armagh: misconnections (e.g. washing machines plumbed into surface water drains) are a known local issue and can result in environmental enforcement action
- Ageing infrastructure in parts of Armagh means drain blockages from grease, wipes and root ingress remain the most common call-out reasons

Who's responsible for drains in Armagh?
In Armagh, responsibility for a blocked or damaged drain depends on where the fault sits. As a homeowner you are responsible for the drains within your property boundary that serve only your home. Since the 2011 private sewer transfer, Northern Ireland Water is responsible for shared sewers and lateral drains beyond your boundary — even where they run under private land. Road gullies and highway drainage are maintained by Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon.
This matters because it determines who pays. If our engineer's CCTV inspection shows the fault is in a shared sewer, we'll tell you — and you can report it to Northern Ireland Water rather than paying for the repair yourself. The separate sewer layout that dominates Armagh affects where these boundaries typically fall, and our local engineers know the BT61, BT62, BT63 networks well enough to identify ownership quickly.
