CCTV Drain Survey: What to Expect and Why You Need One
Aquaspeed
What is a CCTV Drain Survey?
A CCTV drain survey uses a specialist waterproof camera to inspect the inside of your drainage system. The camera transmits live footage to a monitor, allowing our engineers to identify blockages, damage, root intrusion, and structural defects without any excavation.
When Should You Get a CCTV Survey?
Before Buying a Property
A pre-purchase drain survey is one of the smartest investments you can make. Standard house surveys don't include drainage inspection, yet drain repairs can cost thousands. Read more in our guide to CCTV drain surveys for property buyers.
Recurring Drainage Problems
If you're experiencing repeated blockages, slow drainage, or bad smells, a CCTV survey identifies the root cause. Check our guide on signs your drains need professional attention.
What Happens During a CCTV Survey?
As the camera travels through your drains, our engineer monitors live footage, noting pipe material and condition, cracks, root intrusion, displaced joints, and blockages.
Common Problems We Find
Root Intrusion
Tree roots are the most common cause of drainage problems. Our high-pressure water jetting service removes roots, while drain lining prevents regrowth.
Cracked and Fractured Pipes
Our drain repair service can fix most cracks, often without excavation.
