Anyone had experience with a drain survey. We just had one done with the CCTV and mapping. They mentioned part of the sewage system (pipe) was missing and could not get the camera down it as it kept slipping into a ditch. They mapped all of our gullies and foul waste pipes as well as storm drain which did not go through the sewer pipe that was missing, however they had verbally mentioned that it could be replaced and when we received the report it says a recommendation of further investigation of dye, jetting and CCTV. All this for the princely sum of £380 excluding VAT. The pipe in question is not cut off as it is the main where all of my gullies and foul water would go into from an adjoining pipe. I had also looked at it today and noticed that water was flowing through it which suggested to me it was connected to my neighbours house and flowing through my extension and then into the drain.
Am I being taken for a ride or is this how they usually would work? My questions are:
1. Is this usual as they said they could not get a camera down there, so why another CCTV survey? (sounds pointless even after jetting as they may have the same problem)
2. Why the dye? (they have already traced my gullies, taps foul waste etc)
