What is a CCTV drain survey?

A CCTV drainage survey uses a small camera to inspect your underground pipes and identify the cause of blockages, damage, or ongoing issues.

It’s a no-dig, high-precision way to see what’s happening inside your drains without the guesswork.

You might need a CCTV survey if you’re a domestic or commercial property owner facing:

  • repeated blockages or slow drainage
  • bad smells or strange gurgling noises
  • surface flooding or overflowing drains
  • drainage repairs or upgrades and need a detailed assessment
  • a property sale and need a pre-purchase drain check

How we carry out a CCTV drainage survey

When you book a survey, our trained technician arrives with portable CCTV equipment and everything needed to access and inspect your drains. Most surveys take under an hour, depending on site conditions.

Here’s how it works:

  • Initial assessment
    We identify the best access points and discuss any known issues or symptoms you're experiencing.
     
  • Camera survey
    A high-resolution, specialised camera is fed into the drainage system to record footage of pipe condition, blockages, or damage. Our flexible cameras can navigate tight bends and narrow pipes to give a full view.
     
  • Live monitoring and diagnosis
    We review the live feed in real time to locate faults such as cracks, joint defects, tree roots, or collapsed pipe sections. This detailed footage helps prevent costly surprises later.
     
  • Clear reporting
    You’ll receive a detailed report with our findings and recommendations. This report may be needed for insurance claims or planning. Plus, it gives you peace of mind knowing the job was done right.
