Why Do You Need a CCTV Drainage Survey?

Diagnosing Persistent Blockages

If you are experiencing repeat blockages, bad smells, or slow-draining sinks, a video drain inspection is the fastest way to find the root cause. Our advanced cameras navigate your underground pipes in real-time, instantly identifying collapsed drains, fat build-ups, or tree root intrusions.

Never buy a property without checking the underground drainage. A Home Buyer Drain Survey protects you from inheriting thousands of pounds in hidden repair costs.

Drain Lining

The concept of drain re-lining is simple. We use a lining 'sleeve' that contains super durable polyester resin fibre, giving quality and strength far superior to the original pipe material. This sleeve is then inserted along the length of the damaged drain, and is then molded into place using air pressure, then it is left to cure.

What is the CCTV Drain Inspection Process?

A CCTV drain survey is a comprehensive inspection of your plumbing and sewer lines using advanced, waterproof camera technology. Here is how our expert team handles it:

  1. Real-Time Inspection: We send robust crawler cameras and SONAR units down your drains, giving our engineers a live view of your underground system without any excavation.
  2. Instant Identification: We locate blockages, leaks, displaced joints, and structural damage immediately.
  3. Same-Day Reporting: Once the survey is complete, you receive a full, detailed report the exact same day. This includes a map of the drains, video/picture evidence, and a clear, no-obligation quote for any necessary remedial work.
