What Is A CCTV Drain Survey?

A CCTV drain survey is a comprehensive inspection of your drainage system using advanced camera technology. It allows our team to inspect the drains without any excavation or disruption to your property. This method can identify issues such as blockages, leaks, root intrusion and structural damage.

By carrying out a video drain inspection, our expert team can view and assess your drains in real-time, identify any issues at hand and provide solutions to keep any long-term problems from occurring.

You may be experiencing problems with your plumbing and drainage systems, including drain blockages, slow flow rates or bad smells, and be unsure what the best method of action is to take. That’s where Cotswold Drainage will offer our expert guidance on what the ideal option is after we create a detailed drainage report.

 

It’s possible to have a drain camera survey performed on any type of property – domestic or commercial. These are ideal for those moving into a new home, who are experiencing significant drainage problems or simply want peace of mind knowing your drains are in working order.
The process involves sending our robust, waterproof and durable cameras down your drains which offer a live view of the systems.

We record the whole process to not miss anything of importance, while also noting down anything we spot there and then. We can adapt to your surroundings with our engineers having the necessary tools, such as waterproof cameras, access rods, crawlers and SONAR units, to survey all types of drains and systems.

Once we have searched your drains to find the problem, we will retract the cameras and other equipment and create a report with viable solutions to choose as the next steps.
