CCTV Drain Surveys

We offer our CCTV drainage survey service to all of our commercial & domestic customers. We use a specialist camera system which is lowered into the drain or manhole. Afterwards, the camera relays images back to the unit. The CCTV drain survey will quickly obtain accurate information on the condition of the system. We can also use the camera to show you exactly what is happening inside the drainpipe, while advising on the best course of action. It is becoming more common for mortgage lenders to ask for home buyer drain surveys to be undertaken before buying a property. Therefore, as an experienced drain surveyor, we are able to produce thorough drain surveys that meet their specifications. By carrying out a CCTV drainage survey and producing a report on its findings, we can identify areas that need attention prior to purchasing potentially saving you unforeseen costs.

What is a CCTV Drain Survey?

A CCTV drain survey allows you and our drainage engineers the opportunity to see the condition of your drains. A CCTV drain survey is a comprehensive written and visual report, issued to yourself and includes all (if any) identified issues and recommendations. All the recommended work found on a CCTV drain survey can be conducted by C&L.

Initially, the engineer will lift all the known manhole lids and complete a thorough diagram of the manholes, grounds and any points of reference. The engineer will then work either up-stream or down-stream depending on the access. The camera will record the full circumference of the pipe noting any damage, cracks, displacements, or roots. Any issues noticed during the drain survey by the engineer will be put into the written report and a suggested rectification offered.

A CCTV drain survey allows you as the customer to see for yourself why a blockage may be caused, this gives you the chance to make a decision on any further action. CCTV drain surveys aren’t only utilised in diagnosing blockages, they are also a great option for use before purchasing a property. There can be many different issues in a drainage system that can’t be noticed without the use of an in-drain camera. A pre-purchase homebuyers survey will give you peace-of-mind when spending thousands on a new home.

5/5
Quick response for two serious blockages in the outside drain. The second occasion the engineer ran a camera and diagnosed a bigger issue. C&L then quoted and were able to do the remedial work needed to eliminate the problem for good. Friendly, honest (less work was actually required on the day and the invoice was amended to reflect) and efficient. Highly recommended.
