Our Service

CCTV Drainage Surveys to Identify Hidden Drain Problems

A CCTV drainage survey lets us inspect inside your drainage system without digging. Using a specialist drain camera, our engineers can check the condition of the pipework and locate blockages, cracks, root
intrusion and other hidden defects.

Drain surveys are useful when problems keep returning, damage is suspected or you need to understand the condition of underground pipework. A CCTV drain inspection can help establish exactly where the problem is before repair or maintenance work is recommended.

Once the drainage survey is complete, we’ll explain what we’ve found and provide a detailed report with recorded footage, images and recommendations where required.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our blocked shower drainpipe was rapidly & professionally cleared as soon as the operative arrived.  Everything was great & I can’t fault the end result - the only point I’d make is that it was relatively expensive.

DRAINAGE WARNING SIGNS

Signs You May Need a Drainage Survey

Problems that keep returning can indicate a hidden defect further along the drainage system. A CCTV drain survey can help identify the cause and pinpoint where the problem is located.

Recurring Drain Blockages

A drain blockage that keeps returning can indicate damaged pipework, root intrusion or another underlying problem that needs investigating.

Slow-Draining Water

Drains that remain slow or regularly back up may need a camera inspection to identify what is restricting the flow

Persistent Drain Smells

Recurring or unexplained smells can be a sign of a drainage problem that isn’t visible from the surface.

Blocked or Overflowing Outside Drains

An outside drain that repeatedly blocks or overflows can indicate a deeper obstruction or defect within the underground drainage system.

Suspected Drain Damage

If cracked, collapsed or damaged pipework is suspected, a CCTV drain inspection can locate the defect before deciding on the right repair.
