In the modern world of drainage solutions, understanding the condition of underground pipes has never been easier, thanks to the innovative technology of CCTV drainage surveys. But what exactly is a CCTV drainage survey, and why might you need one? Let’s dive into the details.

A CCTV drainage survey involves the use of specialised camera systems that are inserted into your drainage system. These cameras are remotely operated and provide real-time video feedback, allowing technicians to conduct a thorough inspection of your pipes without any excavation.

The primary purpose of conducting a CCTV drainage survey is to assess the state of your underground drainage pipes. This non-invasive method is designed to detect any issues such as blockages, leaks, structural damage, or potential problems that could lead to more serious complications if left unaddressed.

During a CCTV drainage survey, a technician will insert a high-tech camera into your drains. This camera is attached to a flexible rod that can navigate through the twists and turns of your pipes. As the camera travels through the system, it sends back live images to the technician, who can then analyse the footage for any signs of damage or obstruction.

• Non-Intrusive: With no need for digging, your property remains intact while we get a clear view of your pipes.
• Accurate Diagnosis: The high-resolution cameras provide detailed images, making it easier to pinpoint the exact nature and location of any issues.
• Saves Time and Money: By identifying problems early on, you can avoid costly repairs and extensive damage in the future.
• Preventative Maintenance: Regular surveys can help you maintain your drainage system and prevent unexpected emergencies.

• Home Inspections: If you’re considering purchasing a new home, a CCTV drainage survey can give you an insight into the condition of the property’s drainage system.
• Pre-Adoption: Where a newly installed drainage system is to be adopted by the local water authority, our surveys and reporting packages are carried out to Water Authority standards using WincanVX reporting software.
• Mapping Unknown Systems: Where no drainage records exist a CCTV drainage survey can be carried out to map the route of an existing drainage system, providing vital information on the condition and layout of the system.
•  
• Older Properties: Aging pipes in older homes are more susceptible to issues. A survey can help you understand any necessary upgrades or repairs.
• Persistent Drainage Issues: Frequent backups or slow draining sinks may indicate deeper problems that a CCTV drainage survey can diagnose.
• Post-Construction Checks: After any significant construction work near your drainage system, a survey can ensure that no damage has occurred.
