A CCTV drain survey gives you a clear view of what is happening inside your drainage system without relying on guesswork. Drain Division uses specialist camera equipment to inspect underground pipework, identify faults and help determine the right next step.
It is particularly useful when you are dealing with repeated blockages, slow drainage, suspected pipe damage, property purchase checks or planned building work. The survey can reveal issues that are difficult to diagnose from the surface, including root ingress, displaced joints and structural defects.
Our engineers use waterproof CCTV camera equipment to inspect the internal condition of the drainage system. The survey can include:
If the survey identifies a straightforward issue that can be dealt with during the visit, we will explain the available options. Where more extensive work is needed, we can provide clear recommendations for services such as drain jetting, drain repairs or drain relining.
You can also see our CCTV drain survey cost guide for more information on pricing.
A CCTV survey is useful whenever you need to understand why a drainage problem is happening or what condition the underground pipework is in. Common reasons to arrange one include:
If your main problem is an active blockage rather than an unexplained or recurring fault, our blocked drain services can help restore flow. A CCTV survey can then be used where further investigation is needed.
A pre-purchase drain survey can reveal defects that may not be visible during a standard property viewing or building survey. It gives buyers a clearer picture of the condition of the underground drainage before they commit to a purchase.
A CCTV survey may be required when building work is planned close to, or over, a public or shared sewer. The survey records the condition of the drainage and can support the information needed for the relevant approval process.
Condition surveys are useful for homeowners, landlords, property managers and businesses that want to understand the current state of their drainage. They can identify developing defects before they lead to repeated blockages or more disruptive problems.
Drain mapping helps establish the route of underground drainage and can support construction planning, site development and drainage documentation.
Damaged drainage can provide a route for rodents to enter a property. A CCTV survey can help identify defects or possible entry points within the drainage system and provide visual evidence to support further remedial work.
A useful CCTV survey should do more than produce camera footage. It should leave you with a clear understanding of the condition of the drain and what, if anything, needs to happen next.
If the survey identifies a problem, Drain Division can also provide the appropriate next stage of drainage work rather than leaving you to find another contractor. That may include drain jetting, root ingress removal, drain relining or drain repairs.
