Why Might You Need A CCTV Drain Survey?

A CCTV drain survey is one of the quickest and most reliable ways to understand what is happening inside a drainage system. It allows us to investigate hidden problems without digging, giving you clear evidence of the condition of the pipework and the cause of any issues:

Blocked drains: identify the cause and exact location of obstructions.
Faulty pipework: detect cracks, fractures, displacement and structural defects.
Root intrusion: locate roots entering the drainage system and causing damage or blockages.
Hidden leaks: identify areas where pipework may be leaking below ground.
Slow drainage: investigate why water is not flowing away properly.
Sewer line issues: inspect deeper drainage and sewer mains for faults.
Renovations and extensions: check the drainage layout before building works begin.
Homebuyer surveys: assess the condition of a drainage system before purchase or sale.

Because the survey provides a visual inspection of the inside of the drainage system, it helps us recommend the right next step with confidence. That might mean repair, cleaning, maintenance or simply peace of mind that the drains are in good condition.

CCTV Drain Survey FAQs

What is a CCTV drain survey?

A CCTV drain survey uses specialist camera equipment to inspect the inside of your drainage system. It helps identify blockages, cracked pipes, collapsed drains, displaced joints, root ingress, scale build-up and other hidden issues without needing unnecessary excavation.

When would I need a CCTV drain survey?

A CCTV drain survey is useful if you have recurring blocked drains, bad smells, slow drainage, suspected pipe damage, subsidence concerns, a collapsed drain or an issue that cannot be diagnosed from the surface. It is also commonly recommended before buying a property.

Can a CCTV drain survey find the cause of repeated blockages?

Yes, CCTV drain surveys are ideal for finding the reason a drain keeps blocking. The camera inspection can reveal root ingress, grease build-up, cracked pipework, poor falls, displaced joints, collapsed sections or objects lodged inside the drainage system.

Do you provide CCTV drain surveys for homebuyers?

Yes, we can carry out CCTV drain surveys for homebuyers who want to check the condition of the drainage system before purchasing a property. A drain survey can highlight hidden defects, damage or potential repair costs before completion.

Can CCTV surveys detect collapsed drains?

Yes, a CCTV drain inspection can help locate collapsed drains, broken pipes, cracked sections, displaced joints and other structural defects. Once the issue has been identified, we can recommend the most suitable repair method.

Will you provide advice after the drain survey?

Yes, after inspecting the drainage system we can explain what has been found and advise on the most practical next steps. This may include drain cleaning, drain repairs, patch lining, relining, excavation or ongoing maintenance depending on the condition of the pipework.

Do CCTV drain surveys cause disruption?

CCTV drain surveys are usually low-disruption because the camera is inserted through an existing access point, such as a manhole or inspection chamber. This allows us to inspect the pipework internally without digging unless a repair is later required.

Which areas do you cover for CCTV drain surveys?

We provide CCTV drain surveys across Essex, Suffolk and Cambridgeshire, including Braintree, Chelmsford, Colchester, Bury St Edmunds, Newmarket and surrounding towns, villages and rural areas.
