What Is a CCTV Drain Survey?
CCTV surveys are used to provide you with a fast and accurate assessment of the condition of the drains so that we can understand exactly how and why the blockage is occurring. Once we have this information, we can use it to find an effective solution so that we can remove the issue and get your drainage system back to normal. If you need a CCTV drain survey, please get in contact with our team today.
The process involves using a camera attached to a long cable to inspect the insides of your drains and pipes. By watching a live video above ground, drain technicians can easily see if there are any blockages, leaks, or damages inside the pipes without needing to dig them up. It’s a time-saving service that produces minimal disruption to the home or business.

Benefits of a CCTV Drain Survey
A CCTV drain survey offers several benefits for a variety of situations:
Building Work
Before starting any building work, drain camera surveys can identify any existing issues in the system. This ensures the construction work being carried out doesn’t damage pipes or cause future issues.
Buying a Home
When buying a home, arranging CCTV drainage surveys can be a smart move. It helps buyers uncover any hidden drainage problems before finalising the purchase. This could potentially save the buyers from expensive repairs down the line.
Investigating Issues
If you’re experiencing recurring drainage issues like blockages or foul smells, a CCTV drain survey can help to see exactly what might be causing it. Once the cause has been identified, work can be started to fix the issue.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance is important to keep your drainage systems in good condition and to prevent blockages and issues in future. CCTV drain surveys are a proactive way to identify any issues that could become more problematic down the line.
Overall, investing in CCTV drain surveys offers peace of mind, cost savings, and efficient management of your drainage systems.
Our CCTV Drain Equipment
We use advanced CCTV technology such as state-of-the-art cameras that can be used in pipes as small as 50mm wide to identify a range of potential issues such as structural problems, root ingress, awkward blockages, pipe scale, displaced joints, and partial and complete collapses within the drain. This method is fast and reliable, and it provides peace of mind that there are no further problems in the drain.
CCTV Drain Camera Surveys
At The Drain Guys, we have extensive experience in clearing drain blockages either manually or using our specialist tools. However, if a blockage cannot be removed with conventional methods, it may indicate that there is a more serious problem somewhere in your drainage system. This is when it is time to have a CCTV drain survey carried out.
Blockages
One of the most common problems in drainage systems is blockages as they can lead to flooding. Drain camera surveys allow our technicians to identify the location and cause of the blockage. For example, debris, grease buildup, or other obstructions.
Leaks
Undetected leaks can cause water damage, mould growth, and structural issues in the future. It’s therefore important to get leaks sorted as soon as possible. With CCTV drain surveys, we can easily detect where the leak is, even if it’s in a hard-to-reach area. By identifying it early, you can prevent costly repairs.
Loose Joints
Loose or damaged pipe joints can lead to leaks and reduced drainage efficiency. With our drain camera surveys, our technicians can inspect the condition of joints. Quick repairs ensure the integrity and performance of the drainage system.
Tree Root Damage
Tree roots often infiltrate drainpipes as they look for moisture and nutrients. This can cause blockages, cracks, and structural damage. It’s therefore important for a CCTV drain survey to be carried out to confirm this is the cause and remove or repair parts of the drain that have been affected.
Cracked Pipes
Cracked drainage pipes can be a result of wear and tear, ground movement, and external pressure. If cracks occur in your drainage system, this can compromise the integrity of the system and lead to leaks. Drain camera surveys enable quick repairs to be carried out to prevent further damage.
Our CCTV Survey process
Drain Inspection
Using state-of-the-art CCTV cameras, we capture clear images inside the pipes to allow us to establish the cause of the problem. Our equipment can be used in pipes as small as 50mm wide, so no matter what kind of trouble you are having, we will be able to get to the bottom of the issue.
Drain Mapping
Once the inspection is complete, we use drain mapping to outline the specifications of the drainage network using the data collected during the inspection. This allows us to visualise the structure of the drainage system and pinpoint the exact location of the issue so we can begin with drain repairs.
CCTV Drain Survey Report
We will then provide you with a report of our findings presented either on DVD or USB, along with our recommendations on the next steps to deal with the issue. This could include carrying out extensive repairs to the drain, which we can undertake.
