WHAT IS A CCTV DRAIN SURVEY AND WHO NEEDS ONE?
A CCTV drain survey is a non-intrusive method for inspecting the condition of underground drainage systems. By feeding a waterproof camera into your drains, we capture live footage that allows our engineers to assess blockages, structural issues, or general wear without the need for digging. This efficient approach is suitable for a wide range of clients, including:
​
-
Homeowners dealing with unpleasant smells or drainage problems
-
Homebuyers needing reliable pre-purchase inspections
-
Landlords and letting agents maintain tenant-ready properties
-
Builders and developers requiring checks before or after construction
