FAQs
What is a CCTV drain inspection and what does it tell you?
A CCTV drain inspection uses a remotely operated camera inserted into the drain to inspect its condition from the inside. The camera transmits live video and records footage of the drain’s interior, allowing our engineers to identify blockages, root ingress, cracks, joint displacement, pipe collapse, scale build-up, and other defects without excavation. A written report with CCTV footage is provided. Call 0203 439 9474.
When is a CCTV drain inspection needed?
A CCTV drain inspection is recommended after a blockage has been cleared (to check for underlying damage), before purchasing a property (to confirm the drainage is in good condition), when a drain is repeatedly blocking (to identify the cause), as part of a planned maintenance programme, when a planning or building application requires drainage confirmation, or when drain damage is suspected. Call 0203 439 9474.
Can a CCTV drain inspection be done without digging up the drain?
Yes. CCTV drain inspection is specifically a no-dig inspection method – the camera is inserted through an existing access chamber or rodding eye and travels along the pipe, providing a full internal view without any excavation. This makes it fast, non-disruptive, and cost-effective compared to investigative excavation. Call 0203 439 9474.
Do you provide CCTV drain surveys for house buyers and conveyancers?
Yes. We carry out pre-purchase CCTV drain surveys for home buyers, conveyancers, and property surveyors – providing a full written report with CCTV footage confirming the condition of the drainage at the property. This is particularly important for older properties, properties with mature trees nearby, or where the vendor is not aware of the drain condition. Call 0203 439 9474.
What happens if a CCTV drain inspection finds damage?
We provide a written report clearly identifying the location and nature of the damage, along with the CCTV footage. We then provide a quotation for the most appropriate remedial solution – which may include drain jetting, drain relining (no-dig), or targeted excavation and repair depending on the nature and extent of the damage.
