CCTV Drain Inspection & Drain Survey Service

For the majority of blocked drains, the blockage can be cleared using our professional high-pressure water jetting tools. But for stubborn blockages, you might need a more thorough investigation conducted via a drain camera survey. Your local Drain Doctor team can identify any blockages or damage to your drain with a specialist CCTV survey, or in some cases, a 3D CCTV survey. A CCTV drain inspection will help us get to the root of the problem, including checking if collapsed drain repairs are required, and find the best solution to resolve it. 

Drain Camera Survey

From leak detection to identifying a blockage, drain CCTV camera surveys save time by taking the guesswork out of the equation. Once they have access to your drains, your local engineer will insert a small high tech camera inside, which will then capture real-time drain camera survey footage. Once we assess the CCTV drain inspection footage, we can produce a drain camera survey report with repair recommendations. Depending on the size of the problem and your requirements, we may be able to fix the problem there and then, or begin planning any collapsed drain repairs. 

CCTV drain inspection surveys help with:

  • Blockages
  • Leaks
  • Displaced Joints
  • Minor & Major Tree Root Ingression
  • Corrosion
  • Wear & Tear
  • Cracked & Collapsed Drains
  • Scale Build Up
  • Signs of Poor Installation or Displacement

Not only can our CCTV drain survey expert engineers identify your drainage issue using 3D scanning technology, but they can use the drain camera survey footage to repair, unblock or replace your drain safely. Using ‘no dig’ technology where excavation is not needed, we can repair your drain with minimal disruption to your home or business.

When to Get a Drain Survey

If you can smell foul odours, you have a blocked sink, flooded dishwasher or washing machine; it’s time to get a CCTV drain survey to identify the cause. A drain camera survey is an effective way to diagnose the problem without the need to dig holes or trenches. Our drainage engineers can send a state of the art CCTV drain inspection camera into your drainage system to identify and locate blockages, leaks or spot if a collapsed drain repair is required. Using a drain camera survey, we will detail what the problem is, its cause, and where it’s located in the drain.

Homebuyer and Vendor CCTV Drain Surveys

Drain camera surveys are recommended for homebuyers and vendors to make sure there aren’t any existing drainage issues that could cause serious problems further down the line, including cracked, leaky or faulty drains. For new home buyers, our CCTV drain survey service is well worth booking in to uncover any potential problem. 

Pre-tenancy Drain Surveys

It is the responsibility of landlords to maintain the condition of rental properties for their tenants. This involves making sure the drains, waste pipes and sewers are in good condition. A pre-tenancy drain CCTV survey will allow you to inspect the drainage system in a non-invasive way. A drain CCTV camera service is also useful for keeping a record of any damage that may have been caused by tenants.

Build Over CCTV Surveys

If you are building an extension to your property, your local water authority will need to know about it. They will require information including the location, measurements and condition of all drainage within 3m of the area. A build over CCTV drain inspection survey will provide this information and should be carried out before and after building work.

 

Why Do I Need a CCTV Drain Survey?

Drain camera surveys are a conclusive way to get to the bottom of drainage problems and can uncover potentially serious issues such as tree root ingress, blockages, structural damage or spot where collapsed drain repairs are required before the problem gets worse. The quicker a problem is identified, the less damaging the effects will be. With a drain CCTV survey, our engineers will get to the root of the problem and can recommend the most effective solution.

How much does a CCTV drain survey cost? Well, this depends on a number of factors but our drainage team can visit your site, conduct an assessment and provide a free quote before any work is carried out and they will be able to give you a CCTV drain survey cost upfront before undertaking any work.

Paul P

The Drain Doctor operative, Dan Hayler was extremely good. He took time to explain the situation and did a fantastic job of solving our problem. He is knowledgeable and courteous. I would highly recommend him and this company. Thank you for an excellent service.

Mandy Stuttard

Seriously brilliant company. Anna was so helpful and great on the phone in the booking. Clear job pricing, rather than hourly charges. We have had two other plumbers out to solve this issue without success. They used a camera to find the blockage which was a ceramic piece from previous building work. Can't recommend them enough!

Kathy Pavid

Very pleased with Drain Doctor and operator Dan. Had concerns about partial sewer main blockage and possible sewer pipe misalignment. Camera survey carried out first to identify issues, then complete high pressure clean, then follow up camera survey. First class professional and friendly service - would most certainly use again.

Roy Tubbs

Great service from Anna and her team. Dan carried out the work needed and was polite, friendly and explained what needed to be done.

Tracey Ridgers

Dan turned up within an hour even though it wasn't an emergency. He was professional and very helpful and even identified a hidden chamber that was also blocked. Great quality for a very reasonable price.

Nick Armitage

Called this morning for plumbing emergency. Attended within half an hour and problem fixed. Would highly recommend.

Katie Crawford

Can't recommend Graham Forbes and Drain Doctor enough! 3 hours graft and skilled use of some pretty scary high pressure equipment, camera tech, to break a fiendishly located fat and soap berg in the corner of our kitchen pipe work.

Andy & Katy Travers

Really quick service, called on a Sunday morning, with us within an hour with the job done quickly. I hope not to need my drains sorted again, but if I do, I'll be calling Scott!
