CCTV Drain Surveys & CCTV Inspections
A CCTV drainage survey is the inspection of drains and sewers using a remote-controlled camera to identify the root cause of a drainage problem. The drainage survey uses a high-definition camera to determine blockages, leaks, scale build-ups, or any other problems, instead of digging intrusive and time-consuming trenches. The captured images assist our surveyors to fully understand the drainage issue and present the information in a report format; alongside recommendations for a corrective measure.
Importance of our CCTV Drain Survey to your drainage system
Performing a CCTV drain survey for your drainage system is beneficial in various ways, for instance:
- Using a CCTV drainage survey allows remote and safe gathering of data. The surveyors will not have to enter into confined spaces which are potentially risky.
- A CCTV drainage survey helps investigate blockages, drain, poor flow and pollution problems.
- Our efficient drainage surveys will help you manage costs and avoid highly-damaging and drain pipe failures
- CCTV drain surveys enable the drawing architects and designers of construction projects to accurately create project plans.
- A report from a drain CCTV survey can support planned works, such as conducting pipe repairs or replacements.

What do we use to conduct our CCTV Drain Surveys?
The following are the most common techniques and equipment used by our specialist CCTV survey team:
- CCTV Cameras: these modern cameras can operate under flowing waters and tight spaces, providing a clear visual access of the drains and other areas with limited access.
- Access rods: the access rods are flexible, and thus used in pushing the cameras to navigate through tight turns within the drainage system under survey.
- Sonar units: sonar units provide acoustic profiling, and help get insights into the condition of filled pipes with obstructed access.
