CCTV drain surveys · Surrey
See inside your drains with a CCTV drain survey
A waterproof camera travels along the pipe and shows us, and you, exactly what is happening inside. No guesswork, no digging to find out.
How a CCTV drain survey works
We clear the line first if it is blocked, then feed the camera in through a manhole or access point. It records the inside of the pipe as it goes, along with how far along each fault is.
You can watch on the monitor with us while we explain what we are seeing. Afterwards you get a written report with stills and our recommendations, in plain English.
What the camera finds
Tree roots pushing through joints, cracked or broken clay pipes, joints that have shifted apart, sections that have sunk and hold water, and build-up of fat or scale. Each one needs a different fix, which is why seeing it first saves money.
Surveys before you buy
A standard building survey does not look inside the drains. A homebuyer drain survey can turn up a cracked or root-filled pipe before you exchange, which gives you something to negotiate with rather than a bill after you move in.
From survey to repair
If the camera shows damage, we can often repair it without digging. Drain relining seals cracks and root holes from the inside with a new resin lining. Where a section has fully collapsed, we will tell you honestly that it needs excavating.
