CCTV Drainage Surveys
CCTV Drainage Surveys can provide valuable information about the condition of a property’s drainage system. This helps to identify potential problems and prevent future drain and sewer issues.
A CCTV drainage survey can provide several benefits, including:
- Identification of blockages and defects: A CCTV drainage survey can identify blockages or defects in the drainage system, including cracks, fractures, and collapsed pipes. This information can help homeowners and property managers to take appropriate actions before a major problem arises.
- Cost-effective: CCTV drainage surveys are non-invasive, as they don’t require digging up the ground or disrupting the surface area. This means that any issues can be detected and addressed quickly and efficiently, reducing the risk of more costly repairs in the future.
- Preventative maintenance: By identifying any issues early on, CCTV drainage surveys can help prevent future blockages or failures. Regular CCTV surveys can help property owners and managers to stay on top of their drainage maintenance, avoiding major problems.
- Insurance purposes: Many insurance companies require a CCTV drainage survey to be carried out before providing cover. This is because a CCTV survey can provide detailed information on the drainage system condition and any potential issues. It can help to reduce the risk of claims in the future.

What is a CCTV Drainage Survey?
A CCTV Drainage Survey uses a tiny video camera to view the condition of your drains and sewers. The video it creates can be viewed live and recorded at the same time. Our trained drainage engineers use the video to get a close look at the inside condition of pipes and connections. This allows them to see blockages, pipe misalignments, tree roots and other causes of pipe damage.
CCTV surveys of drains are popular because they inspect and record the condition of drains and sewers quickly and inexpensively. The saved video file can be kept as a permanent, historical record of the drain and sewer condition.
Who Needs One?
Building Societies and mortgage lenders often request a CCTV drainage survey when there are known drainage issues in the area. When buying an older property, it’s advisable to check for drain and sewer problems lurking below. This is because drains can be expensive to fix so you would want to negotiate this cost with the seller.
