Dyno-Rod responds to insurance market challenges
Dyno-Rod will be seen as the first choice for drainage repair for the insurance sector.
Scottish Water, responsible for the main sewer running from the shopping centre to the river, have been informed and gave assurance that there were no proposed works due to be undertaken in this stretch of the drainage system.
Dyno-Rod were carrying out this work on behalf of contractor Simpson (York) when they captured this excellent piece of footage.
George Kerr of JK Services comments: "As drains are largely hidden from view, their inspection and diagnosis is important before any work is undertaken and in this case our discovery has helped to protect an otter family from danger".
Following consultations between Dyno-Rod and Scottish Water, the otter has now been left to roam freely between the drainage system and the open river - the water company having given assurances that no work was planned for this river stretch.
Dyno Rod CCTV surveys of drains, sewers and pipes provide an accurate and cost effective way to spot problems before excavation and remedial work is undertaken or to establish the state of drains as part of a pre - purchase survey.
The survey is a simple process but can save much time, cost and inconvenience at a later date.
Recorded footage is backed up by a survey report, with photographic evidence, for all concerned parties.
