Land and geospatial surveying

Drainage Surveying

CCTV drainage surveys that show you exactly what is happening below ground. We send a camera through the system, find the problem and give you clear footage and a report to act on.

The survey

See Inside The System

A CCTV drainage survey sends a small camera through your drains and sewers to show their exact condition. You see the inside of the pipe on screen, live, without any digging.

It is the fastest way to find out why a drain keeps blocking, whether a system is damaged or how the pipework is laid out. We record the footage, identify the issues and set out what needs doing, so you are not paying to dig up a drain on a guess.

What it finds

What We Look For

The problems that hide inside a drainage system until they cause trouble.

  • Connection and layout issues
  • Signs of misuse or damage

When and what

When You Need One

Buying a property, chasing a recurring blockage or getting a drain adopted, a CCTV survey gives you the answers. It is often the first thing to do when something is not right below ground.

You get the recorded footage, a clear report on the condition and a plan of the drainage layout where relevant. Everything you need to decide what to do, price up a repair or satisfy a buyer, a lender or the water authority. No guesswork, no unnecessary excavation.

FAQ

Common Questions

When do I need a drainage survey?
Commonly before buying a property, when a drain keeps blocking or when a drain needs adopting. Any time you need to know the condition of the system below ground.
Do you have to dig anything up?
No. The whole point of a CCTV survey is that it inspects the drains from the inside, with no excavation. You only dig if the survey shows you need to.
What do I get afterwards?
The recorded footage, a clear report on what we found and a drainage layout plan where needed. Enough to price a repair or satisfy a third party.
Can you find why a drain keeps blocking?
Yes. The camera shows exactly what is causing it, whether that is roots, a collapse, a bad joint or a build-up, so you fix the cause not just the symptom.
