What a CCTV drain survey can identify
Drain cameras allow us to inspect internal pipe condition and locate defects that cannot be seen from ground level.
- Cracks and fractures
- Displaced or open joints
- Root ingress
- Scale and debris build-up
- Collapsed pipework
- Pipe bellies and backfalls
- Incorrect or protruding connections
- Rodent entry points
Recorded footage and written reports
Recorded CCTV footage can be supplied where required, and we can provide written drainage findings and recommendations for homeowners, landlords, property managers, building control requirements and commercial clients.
CCTV after drain cleaning or repair
Following drain clearing, descaling, patch repair or lining works, CCTV can be used to confirm the condition of the drainage system and document completed works.
CCTV surveys for planned works
Drain surveys are also useful before extensions, build-over works and larger drainage projects where existing pipe routes and condition need to be understood.
