CCTV drain surveys: when to book and what you get

Recurring slow drains, odours, or repeat blockages after basic clearing indicate deeper issues where a CCTV survey can pinpoint defects and guide a durable fix.​
Surveys are non‑invasive: a small camera maps the drainage network, records defects like roots, fractures, or displacements, and produces footage and screenshots for reports and quotes.​

• When to survey: Before property purchase, after repeat blockages, and to verify repairs or condition before handover to tenants or insurers.​

• What’s included: Video, stills with severity notes, and a condition report with recommendations and costed options for maintenance or repair.​

• Benefits: Targeted repairs (e.g., descaling, root removal, patching, or relining) that address causes rather than symptoms, saving disruption and cost long term.​

• London context: Specialist providers routinely combine clearance, surveys, and repairs so issues are diagnosed and resolved efficiently in one workflow where feasible.​

Booking surveys proactively reduces emergency callouts and helps plan maintenance cycles that keep homes and businesses running smoothly.​
