CCTV Survey in Dungannon
Dungannon's separate sewer system serves the BT70-BT73 postcodes with Victorian and Edwardian properties that often predate modern drainage standards. Pre-purchase CCTV surveys in Dungannon reveal misconnections where washing machines or downpipes discharge into surface water drains—a common defect in Dungannon's older stock. Northern Ireland Water's records show that Dungannon properties built before 1970 frequently have undocumented or incorrectly routed surface water connections that can trigger enforcement action under environmental regulations.
A CCTV drain survey in Dungannon uses a waterproof camera to inspect interior drain pipes without excavation. It detects misconnections, root ingress, corrosion, blockages and cracks in Dungannon properties. Pre-purchase surveys in Dungannon identify defects before completion; periodic surveys monitor aging drains.
Drainage in Dungannon — what local engineers know
Dungannon's Mid Ulster Council manages a mixed housing stock where separate foul and surface water sewers run throughout the town. The acidic pH of Northern Ireland Water's supply to Dungannon accelerates corrosion in copper fittings and lead joints, particularly in Victorian terraces and Edwardian villas. A CCTV survey in Dungannon can identify not just blockages, but also illegal connections to surface water drains—a costly liability if discovered post-purchase. Misconnections in Dungannon properties can result in fines from Mid Ulster Council's environmental enforcement team and force costly remedial work.
- Soft water supply reduces limescale, but slightly acidic pH can accelerate corrosion of copper fittings and lead joints in older Dungannon properties
- Separate sewer system across most of Dungannon: 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 Dungannon means drain blockages from grease, wipes and root ingress remain the most common call-out reasons

Who's responsible for drains in Dungannon?
In Dungannon, 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 Mid Ulster.
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 Dungannon affects where these boundaries typically fall, and our local engineers know the BT70, BT71, BT72 networks well enough to identify ownership quickly.
