When You Need A CCTV Drain Survey
A CCTV drain survey is useful when drains keep blocking, water drains away slowly, or you notice bad smells. It can also help if there is damp near floors, gurgling sounds, or water backing up in sinks and toilets.
If you have had repeated call-outs or you do not know where the pipe runs, a camera check saves guesswork. It is also a good step before major building work, after storm damage, or when buying a property.
CCTV Drainage Survey Services
Our CCTV drainage survey service uses high-quality cameras and lighting to inspect pipes from access points. We record footage and mark the exact location of faults where possible. After the visit, we explain what we found in plain language and provide a written report, so you can choose the right repair with confidence.
Domestic CCTV drain surveys
For homes, we inspect waste water and rainwater drains, including runs under floors, drives, and gardens.
We help find the cause of blockages, leaks, and bad smells. Ideal for landlords, homeowners, and letting agents who need quick, clear, reliable answers.
Commercial CCTV drain surveys
For shops, offices, and busy sites, we survey drainage systems with minimal disruption. We can work out of hours when needed and follow site rules.
Useful for planned maintenance, insurance claims, and repeated issues that affect staff, customers, or daily work.
Pre-purchase drain surveys
Before you buy, a drain survey checks the hidden pipework that a normal viewing cannot assess.
We look for damage, poor repairs, and signs of flooding. You receive a report you can share with solicitors and use to plan costs.
Drain mapping and tracing
If you are unsure where pipes run, we map and trace them using the CCTV feed and surface checks.
This helps when planning extensions, driveway work, or new connections. It can also reduce the need for digging when a fault is found.
Post-repair CCTV verification surveys
After repairs, we carry out a verification survey to confirm the pipe is clear and the problem has been fixed.
This is helpful after pipe lining, patching, or replacing sections. You get evidence for warranties, insurers, or your own peace of mind.
Drain condition reporting
We produce clear drain condition reports that describe what we saw, where we saw it, and how serious it is.
Reports can include still images and key timings from the recording. This makes it easier to compare quotes and agree the right work.
Pre-purchase Drain Surveys
Pre-purchase surveys are designed for buyers who want to reduce risk before exchange. We inspect the main drains and connections, then provide a clear condition report with any urgent faults. If issues are found, you can budget for repairs, ask the seller to fix them, or renegotiate.
Plan the right repair with clear evidence
Your report includes recorded footage and clear notes, so repairs can be planned with confidence before any work begins.
Contractors can see the size and position of the fault and choose the best method. This reduces guesswork, delays, and unnecessary digging.
Finds the cause of drainage problems
We use CCTV to see the real cause, not just the symptoms. This can show where a blockage starts, where a pipe has cracked, or where roots have entered.
Knowing the exact issue helps stop wasted time and repeated visits.
Prevent repeat blockages
By finding the underlying fault, we help you prevent the same blockage coming back.
We can highlight sections that need cleaning, repairs, or better maintenance, such as grease build-up or root entry points. A follow-up survey can confirm the drain is running freely.
