What is a CCTV drain survey

A CCTV drain survey is a process of inspecting the interior of your drains using a camera system. This survey allows us to identify any issues or blockages within your drains without excavating them. A CCTV drain survey is a quick and efficient way to diagnose any problems with your drains, and it can often be done without disrupting your property. Our camera system is specially designed to navigate through your drains, and it transmits live footage back to our technicians. This footage is then used to compile a comprehensive report detailing the condition of your drains. A CCTV drain survey is an essential tool for keeping your drains in good working order, and it can save you a lot of time and money in the long run.

Why do we use CCTV for drainage problems

CCTV drain surveys are an essential tool that helps to prevent and resolve drain blockages. The surveys are conducted by placing a camera into the drain and then carefully inspecting the footage for any blockages or other issues. This allows for a very accurate diagnosis of the problem, which can then be resolved quickly and efficiently. In many cases, CCTV drain surveys are the best way to prevent severe drain blockages from occurring in the first place. Identifying potential problems early on can be fixed before they have a chance to cause any damage. As a result, CCTV drain surveys play an important role in keeping drains clear and functioning correctly.

Why do a CCTV survey of a property

1. Animal Infestation
One of the primary reasons to conduct a CCTV drain survey of a property is to check for animal infestation. Animals such as rats and mice can enter homes through drains and cause various problems, including contaminating food, damaging property, and spreading disease. A drain survey can help identify areas where animals may be entering the property so that they can be sealed off to prevent further infestation.

2. Drain Mapping
Another reason to conduct a CCTV drain survey is to create a map of the property’s drainage system. This can be helpful for various purposes, such as identifying potential problems with the system or planning future renovations. A drain survey can also help to determine the most efficient way to connect new drains to the existing system.

3. Before Purchase
If you are considering purchasing a property, it is essential to have a drain survey conducted before making an offer. This will allow you to identify any potential problems with the property’s drainage system so that you can negotiate a lower purchase price or make the repairs before taking ownership. Additionally, if there are significant problems with the system, you may decide it is not worth purchasing the property.

4. Pre-Building
If you are planning to build on a piece of land, it is essential to have a drain survey conducted beforehand. This will allow you to identify any potential problems with the land’s drainage system so that you can make the necessary repairs or take steps to avoid them altogether. Additionally, if there are significant problems with the system, you may decide it is not worth building on the land.
