What Is a CCTV Drain Survey?

A CCTV drain survey uses specialist waterproof cameras inserted into the drainage system to inspect the inside of pipes. Live footage allows the surveyor to identify damage, blockages and structural problems within the pipework.

Because the inspection takes place inside the drain, the condition of the system can be assessed without excavation or digging.

This type of service is commonly used for property purchases, fault finding, insurance matters, routine maintenance and pre-construction checks. For quick fault finding without a full report, you may wish to arrange a CCTV drain inspection.

Homebuyer Drain Survey

A CCTV drain survey is often recommended when purchasing a property. Drainage problems can be hidden underground and may not be visible during a standard building survey.

A homebuyer drain survey allows the drainage system to be inspected before the purchase is completed. This can help identify potential issues such as damaged pipework, root intrusion or structural defects within the drains.

Having a survey carried out before buying a property can provide peace of mind and help buyers make informed decisions during the purchase process.
