CCTV Drain Surveys
High-resolution camera inspection of your drains and sewers, with a fully coded condition report and plain-English recommendations.
A CCTV drain survey sends a specialist waterproof camera through your drainage system to record the exact condition of every pipe, joint and connection. It is the fastest, least disruptive way to find the cause of a problem — or confirm a system is sound — without digging.
Our surveyors capture full-colour footage, log defects against the industry WRc coding standard, and turn it into a report you can actually use: what is wrong, where it is, how serious it is, and what (if anything) needs doing.
Why it matters
See the real cause
Cracks, root ingress, displaced joints, scale and blockages are identified precisely — no guesswork.
No excavation
The camera inspects from existing access points, so there is no digging just to diagnose the issue.
Documented evidence
Footage plus a coded report you can share with insurers, buyers, landlords or contractors.
Accurate quotes
Knowing the exact defect and location means any repair is quoted correctly the first time.

Report & advice
You receive footage and a clear report, usually the same day, with prioritised recommendations.

How long does a CCTV drain survey take?
Most residential surveys take 45–90 minutes on site. Larger or commercial systems take longer. Reports are typically issued the same day.
Do you need to dig to do the survey?
No. The survey is carried out through existing access points such as inspection chambers, so no excavation is needed to diagnose the problem.
What do I get at the end?
Full-colour camera footage and a written, WRc-coded condition report listing every defect, its location and a clear recommendation.
