A CCTV drain survey is a professional inspection of your drainage system using a small waterproof camera that is inserted into the pipes. The camera travels through the drains and sends live video footage to a monitor, allowing drainage engineers to see the exact condition of the pipes and identify any problems. This service is currently coming soon for properties under construction, ensuring that your drainage system is thoroughly examined before any building work begins.
What Problems Can It Detect?
A CCTV survey can identify issues such as:
- Blocked drains
- Cracked or damaged pipes
- Collapsed drains
- Tree root intrusion
- Fat, grease, or debris build-up
- Misaligned pipe joints
When Is a CCTV Drain Survey Needed?
CCTV drain surveys are commonly used when:
- Drains keep blocking repeatedly
- Water drains slowly
- There are bad smells coming from drains
- You are buying a property and want to check the drains
- There may be hidden damage in the drainage system
Why It’s Useful
A CCTV survey allows engineers to pinpoint the exact cause and location of a drainage problem without digging up your garden, driveway, or floors. This makes it faster, more accurate, and more cost-effective to diagnose drainage issues. We also provide a report and video footage after the inspection, which can be useful for property buyers or insurance claims.
