Peeking Inside Your Pipes: What Exactly is a CCTV Drain Survey?

+

A CCTV drain survey is basically a high-tech way to look inside your drains without any digging. We send a small, waterproof camera on a flexible rod right into your drainage system. This camera feeds live video back to our engineers, showing us the exact condition of your drains, from small cracks to big blockages. It's a quick and clear way to get a full picture of what's going on beneath your property.

Spotting Trouble Early: When Should You Consider a Drain Camera Inspection?

+

You should think about a CCTV drain survey whenever you're having persistent drainage problems. If your drains are regularly blocked, your toilet water rises slowly, or you notice foul smells, there's likely a hidden problem. It’s also a smart move if you're buying a new home to check the drainage condition, or after repairs to make sure everything is sorted. Our service helps identify the real cause of the issue before it gets worse.

Uncovering Hidden Damage: What Can Our CCTV Cameras Reveal About Your Drains?

+

Our advanced CCTV surveys can uncover a whole host of problems. We'll spot obvious blockages from fat, grease, or debris. More importantly, we can identify structural issues like cracks, fractures, collapsed pipes, or misaligned joints. We'll also find troublesome tree root ingress that's getting into your drains. Knowing the exact problem helps us recommend the right repairs and get your drainage clear again.

Quick Check-Up: How Long Does a Typical Drain Survey Take?

+

The time a CCTV drain survey takes really depends on the size and complexity of your drainage system. For a standard home survey, it often takes between one and two hours. Larger commercial properties or more complicated drainage layouts might need longer. We always work efficiently to gather all the necessary information, making sure we provide a comprehensive service without wasting your time.

No Fuss, No Mess: Will a CCTV Drain Survey Disrupt My Property?

+

No, absolutely not! One of the biggest advantages of a CCTV drain survey is how minimally invasive it is. We can carry out the inspection by accessing your drains through existing manholes or access points. This means there's no need for disruptive digging on your property. Our team uses clean, well-maintained equipment and works carefully to avoid any mess, leaving your property just as we found it.

Beyond the Footage: What Happens After Your Drain Inspection?

+

After completing the CCTV survey, our experienced engineers put together a detailed report for you. This report includes all the video footage, still images of any issues found, and a clear explanation of your drain's condition. Crucially, it will also outline our recommended next steps, whether that's high-pressure jetting to clear blockages, no-dig lining for repairs, or a planned excavation for more serious damage. We'll talk you through everything.
