What can CCTV footage reveal in your drain?

CCTV drain inspection surveys commonly reveal drain blockages, mis-aligned drains, silt build-up, off-set drain joints, fractured pipes, collapsed drains and tree roots. Once our drainage engineers have viewed the CCTV survey footage of your drain, they will advise you on the best course of action to deal with your drainage problem.

CCTV drain surveys when buying a new home

A CCTV survey can spot issues long before they develop into something costly. This information can be invaluable when you are making a decision on a house purchase, for example. Ask us about our property pre-purchase survey. It could save you a lot of money.

So what's involved in a CCTV drain survey?

Step 1 is to get into the drain. Once we've found an access point the CCTV camera can be pushed down the pipe. If you have a nice wide pipe the camera will be mounted on the remote controlled robot.

Looking at the blockages on a video screen

Step 2 is the fact finding. The engineer looks at the images from the camera and logs what they see. They also note down the location of any blockage or structural defect in the pipe. This video footage can be made available to you so you can watch it at anytime from anywhere - although it's not likely to be a blockbuster. No pun intended....

Compiling a report on your drains

Step 3 is to compile the report. The report informs you of what we've found, listing any problems and their location within the pipe. Hopefully, you might not have any problems at all! The report comes complete with photos and video footage if required.

And what's more, we'll store it on our bespOKe client portal called 'Datanet' and you can have access to it anytime.

We pride ourselves on our open and honest pricing - there are no hidden charges and we even charge in 15 minute intervals after the first hour. You won't find many plumbing and drainage companies with a pricing policy like that! Take a look at our pricing list for a guide on how much you can expect to pay.

We also have a price comparison tool, that enables you to check our prices against our main competitors. For larger projects such drain repair, drain excavation or drain lining we can provide you with a fixed price and what's more, the quotation is free!
