Residential CCTV Drain Surveys

When the cause of a drainage problem isn’t immediately obvious a CCTV camera can be inserted into your drainage pipework. Not only does this allow our engineer to see exactly what the problem is, the findings can also be made available to view online including drain sections viewed, individual line sheets of each section videoed, drawing and report of our findings and recommendations. All of which is sent via our private portal, email link showing any potential issues.

CCTV is also useful in identifying issues in a drainage system before they become more serious, and can be extremely important for assessing the drainage system in a property you may be thinking of purchasing. A pre-purchase drainage survey is crucial to avoid hidden costs which may not be covered by insurance post sale. The cost of repairs are detailed in a no obligation quotation and can often be negotiated off the price of the property. The benefits of pre-purchase surveys are increasingly noted by lenders and are often a pre-requisite for property purchases.
