CCTV Surveys

If you have a drainage problem at the moment or you wish to avoid one in the future a drain CCTV survey is the quickest, most accurate and cost effective way of checking your drain condition and their surroundings.

CCTV drains surveys involve passing a small CCTV camera through your drain system to identify any issues which are hidden from sight above ground. CCTV surveys of drains, pipes, and sewers provide an accurate, visual and cost effective way to detect any drain problems, see the source of the problem and help to establish the most economical repair options. We are able to view pipe up to 50 meters in length.

One of most serious home drainage problems, that can affect all types of property is that posed by leaking drains. Drains and sewers can deteriorate leading to structural problems.

Benefits of CCTV Surveys:

A CCTV Survey can be carried out with little fuss and disruption but they quickly establish the facts. A CCTV survey involves sending a camera down your sewer or drain and making a video recording of the results. A CCTV survey will not determine that a drain is watertight or leaking, but it will show and locate areas of damage or blockage. Reviewing the CCTV survey the drainage engineer can precisely pinpoint the problem area without the need for expensive excavations. At this point a repair plan can be established and whilst a hole might need to be dug it will be at the exact location of the problem thereby minimizing subsequent costs and disruption.

Pre Home Purchase Surveys

Camera CCTV surveys are not only used for fault finding once a problem is suspected, it is now becoming common practice for potential home purchasers to schedule a drain survey before completing on the sale to identify any potential and expensive problems. Underground drains might be invisible but they should be considered as part of the overall purchase assessment particularly if you are buying a new home. Drainage systems can be very complex and repair work can be expensive if it involves digging up large areas of land. Acknowledging the potential high cost of drain repairs, CCTV surveys can be cost effective investments and pay for themselves many times over.

We can provide a detailed survey with images in either black and white or colour. You will get a DVD with all the details and we will let you know the next steps that will need to be taken. At this point we can also give you an estimate of what the works will cost in order to rectify the problem.

To prevent your drainage system from blockage, here are some tips:

• Before taking the dishes into the kitchen sink, remove all food
• Never try to flush sanitary towels, tampons or nappies down the toilet
• Always remove all hair from basin, bathtub and shower
• Never pour grease into the drain-pour it in a can and throw it in the rubbish
