CCTV Survey in Ballymoney
Ballymoney properties across BT53, BT54, BT55, and BT56 are served by a separate sewer system managed by Northern Ireland Water. While the area is dominated by postwar and modern builds, the older Victorian and Edwardian properties—and their clay pipes—are most vulnerable to blockage and corrosion. A CCTV drain survey reveals what's hidden beneath your property before expensive damage occurs.
CCTV drain surveys use HD video to inspect drains in Ballymoney, BT53–BT56. They reveal blockages, corrosion, roots and misconnections. The report is coded to industry standard, accepted by mortgage lenders and insurers. Essential before purchase or after drainage failures.
Drainage in Ballymoney — what local engineers know
Causeway Coast and Glens Council oversees Ballymoney under a separate sewer system run by Northern Ireland Water. The local soft water supply has a slightly acidic pH that accelerates corrosion of copper and lead joints in older properties. Misconnections remain significant: washing machines plumbed into surface drains trigger enforcement action from Northern Ireland Water. Ageing clay pipes are prone to grease blockages, root ingress, and collapses. A CCTV survey pinpoints exactly what's happening beneath your property—crucial before buying, and essential after a blockage.
- Soft water supply reduces limescale, but slightly acidic pH can accelerate corrosion of copper fittings and lead joints in older Ballymoney properties
- Separate sewer system across most of Ballymoney: 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 Ballymoney means drain blockages from grease, wipes and root ingress remain the most common call-out reasons

Who's responsible for drains in Ballymoney?
In Ballymoney, 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 Causeway Coast and Glens.
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 Ballymoney affects where these boundaries typically fall, and our local engineers know the BT53, BT54, BT55 networks well enough to identify ownership quickly.
