What is a CCTV drain survey?

A CCTV drain survey is the most cost-effective way to examine the condition of a drain, sewer or pipeline in detail without having to dig it up. A CCTV drain survey is performed using state-of-the-art camera and software technology, which allows us to identify and locate any leaks, blockages or other issues that require a repair. Once we’ve completed the survey, we’ll then create a comprehensive CCTV survey report that details any issues that have been discovered, identifying the source of the problem as well as the potential fix.

We can complete CCTV drain surveys on any type of property, whether it’s residential, commercial or industrial, as well as infrastructure such as roads, rail and utilities.

What will a survey find?

A camera drain survey can alert you to a number of issues that could potentially cause serious problems with your drains. Without a survey, faults can take several years to manifest, by which point it could be too late to avoid an expensive fix. As CCTV surveys are quick and non-invasive, they are the most cost-effective way to detect problems.

Here are some of the issues a CCTV survey can identify:

Collapsed and cracked drains
Displaced joints
Animal intrusion and vermin infestation
Tree root ingress
Corrosion and wear and tear
Blockages
The causes and extent of leaks/bursts in pipes Scale build up Evidence of displacement or poor installation
