CCTV Drain Surveys
What Is a CCTV Drain Survey and When Do You Need One
A CCTV drain survey uses a specialist waterproof camera to inspect the inside of your drainage system. The camera is fed through the pipework, transmitting live footage to our engineers who assess the condition of every section in real time.
The survey produces a detailed report with video footage, still images, and a written assessment of every defect, obstruction, or area of concern. For commercial properties, this is essential before acquisitions, renovations, insurance claims, or when diagnosing persistent drainage problems.
Unlike excavation, a CCTV survey is completely non-invasive. There is no digging, no disruption to your property or tenants, and the process typically takes a few hours depending on the size of the drainage network.
