CCTV Survey in Blairgowrie
Blairgowrie's combined drainage system means surface and foul water share the same pipes—a setup that struggles when rainfall is heavy. With nearly a third of properties built before 1920, salt-glazed clay sewers and corroded copper and lead pipework are common in PH10–PH13 postcodes. CCTV inspection identifies pipe collapse, root ingress, and joint deterioration before they cause blockages.
CCTV drain surveys use a waterproof camera mounted on a flexible rod to inspect sewers inside. In Blairgowrie, they reveal clay pipe collapse, root ingress, and corrosion damage in older properties—especially common in combined sewers—and provide the HD video evidence needed for insurance claims and pre-purchase decisions.
Drainage in Blairgowrie — what local engineers know
Blairgowrie falls within Perth and Kinross's areas with local flood risk, with local watercourses nearby. Scottish Water's soft water supply is kind to fixtures but slightly acidic—it accelerates corrosion in older copper pipework and lead joints, a factor in many drain failures we diagnose. Combined sewerage in older parts means surcharge risk during heavy rain; drainage systems backing up is predictable, especially in low-lying areas. With a significant share of properties predating 1920, clay pipe collapse and root intrusion are routine call-outs across the PH10–PH13 area.
- Soft water supply reduces limescale, but slightly acidic pH can accelerate corrosion of copper fittings and lead joints in older Blairgowrie properties
- Combined sewerage infrastructure — common in older parts of Blairgowrie — means foul and surface water share the same pipe, increasing surcharge risk during heavy rainfall
- Moderate flood risk in parts of Blairgowrie — drainage systems near low-lying areas can surcharge after prolonged rain, and sump pump maintenance is advisable
- With a significant share of properties built before 1920, salt-glazed clay drainage and lead-solder copper pipework are common — pipe collapse, root ingress and joint failure are recurring call-out drivers.

Who's responsible for drains in Blairgowrie?
In Blairgowrie, 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, Scottish 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 Perth and Kinross.
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 Scottish Water rather than paying for the repair yourself. The combined sewer layout that dominates Blairgowrie affects where these boundaries typically fall, and our local engineers know the PH10, PH11, PH12 networks well enough to identify ownership quickly.
