Drain Jetting and CCTV Survey in Dubai
A drain that has blocked twice will block a third time.
High pressure jetting and camera survey, so you find out why rather than just clearing it again.
Where a bad decision stays hidden longest
Plumbing, electrical and mechanical work is where an owner is least equipped to judge what they are being told, and where the wrong call stays buried in a wall for years. We show you the fault, explain the options, and quote before we touch it.
- You see the fault before you approve the fix
- Written quote, no parts added afterwards
- One team, so no trade blames another
Diagnosed before anything is replaced
Replacing a part that was not the fault is the most expensive outcome in this trade, and the most common one.
- Cause established before parts are ordered
- Photographs of the fault, shared with you
- Second opinion welcomed, not resisted
One contract instead of six
Most villas are running separate contractors for AC, plumbing, electrical and general maintenance, all blaming each other. One team removes that entirely.
- Single point of contact for the property
- One schedule, one invoice, one accountability
- Records kept so history is not lost
Before anything is quoted
We look at the property before we put a number on it
A price list cannot see your marble, your ducts, or the wall the afternoon sun hits. So we come and look. A senior member of the team surveys the property, and you receive a written quotation the same day, itemised, with what is included and what is not.
No obligation. If we are not the right company for the job we will say so, and tell you who is.
- 01The survey
We look at the property, not a price list. Usually the same day you ask.
- 02The written quote
Fixed, itemised, and sent the same day. What is included, and what is not.
- 03The work
A named supervisor and a crew you will see again. Our own equipment and materials.
- 04The walkthrough
We walk the property with you before the team leaves. Anything not right is dealt with then.
About this service
What is drain jetting & cctv survey and what does it include?
Rodding clears a path through a blockage. It does not clear the pipe, and it never tells you why it happened.
A drain that blocks repeatedly is telling you something structural. It might be a fall that was never right from construction, so waste has been sitting instead of running since the day the villa was handed over. It might be root intrusion at a joint, a partially collapsed section, or a build up of fat and scale that has narrowed the bore to a fraction of its diameter. Rodding punches a hole through whatever is there and the water runs again for a while, which is why the same drain gets rodded three times a year and nobody ever finds out what is actually wrong.
Jetting is different work. High pressure water scours the full internal diameter of the pipe, so fat, scale and debris come away from the walls rather than a channel simply being opened through the middle. Then the camera goes in, which is the part that actually answers the question. You see the condition of the line, the fall, any displaced joints, root intrusion or cracking, and where the problem is, measured from a known point rather than guessed at. You get the footage and a written report, which matters if the repair turns out to be structural or if there is a dispute about whose responsibility a shared line is.

How the process works
Attend and assess
We look at the symptoms across the property, not just the fixture that is blocked.
Jetting
High pressure water scours the full internal diameter rather than punching through.
CCTV survey
The camera goes in on the cleared line, which is when you find out what is really happening.
Cause located
Any defect is identified and measured from a fixed point, so it can be found again.
Report issued
Footage and a written report, in plain language rather than trade shorthand.
Repair if needed
If it is structural we quote the repair separately, and you are free to take that anywhere.

View serviceFrequently asked questions
How much does drain jetting and cctv survey cost in Dubai?
There is no fixed rate card. Price follows the size and condition of the property, so a senior member of the team surveys it first and you get a written, itemised quotation the same day. The figure on that quotation is the figure you pay.
Who does drain jetting and cctv survey near me in Dubai?
MELLS covers ninety communities across Dubai and works in Abu Dhabi and Sharjah for commercial premises. Message +971 58 656 3001 on WhatsApp with your community and we will confirm availability.
What is the best drain jetting and cctv survey company in Dubai?
Judge any company on three things: whether the team is directly employed or subcontracted, whether the quote is fixed in writing before work starts, and whether a supervisor walks the property with you at the end. MELLS does all three as standard.
How quickly can you start drain jetting and cctv survey?
Survey usually the same day you ask, quotation the same day, and work scheduled within forty eight hours in most cases. Urgent call outs are handled the same day where the team is free.
Is drain jetting and cctv survey safe for children and pets?
Yes. Products are selected for occupied family homes as the default, re entry times are told to you before we leave, and anything stronger is only ever used with your agreement.
How do I get a quote from MELLS?
Message us on WhatsApp on +971 58 656 3001 or call the same number. A senior member of the team surveys the property and you receive a written itemised quotation the same day.
Which areas of the UAE does MELLS cover?
Ninety communities across Dubai for residential work, and Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah for commercial premises.
Is jetting better than rodding?
For anything recurring, yes. Rodding opens a channel through a blockage. Jetting scours the full pipe diameter, so what was narrowing the bore actually comes away.
Do I really need a camera survey?
If it has blocked more than once, yes. Otherwise you are paying to clear the same drain repeatedly without ever learning why it keeps happening.
Will jetting damage old pipework?
Pressure is set according to the pipe material and condition, and the camera tells us what we are dealing with. On a line already suspected to be failing we survey before jetting hard.
Do I get the footage?
Yes, along with a written report. It is genuinely useful if the line is shared, if there is a dispute, or if you are buying or selling the property.
Can you fix what the survey finds?
Yes, and we quote it separately and clearly so you can see exactly what you are paying for, or take it elsewhere if you prefer.
