How do CCTV surveys work?

A CCTV survey can establish the structural condition of underground drainage systems which, due to a variety of reasons, can be defective. In many cases, defective drains pose a threat to the property they serve and are often found to be the primary cause of subsidence.

Whether it be at your domestic property or commercial premises, how our drain engineers carry out the inspection is straightforward. We’ll feed one of our high-tech CCTV cameras directly into your drainpipes – reducing the need to excavate the ground.

Our experienced engineers will then watch the CCTV footage from a TV screen and identify issues.

Should you have any questions – either about the survey itself or the drainage problems identified, our specialists will be more than happy to help.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a CCTV Drain Survey?

A CCTV drain survey is an in-depth inspection of the condition of drainage systems. A high-tech camera records video footage inside the drain and captures useful information that drainage engineers can use to identify any issues that might be present – be it blockages in pipes or sewers.

How does a CCTV Drain Survey work?

The way CCTV drain surveys work is simple. The first thing you’ll need to do is arrange a survey.

An engineer will come and visit you to discuss the drainage issue in further detail before setting up survey equipment (waterproof cameras, access rods, crawlers and sonar units). They will then gain access to your drains and insert the CCTV camera – providing a real-time view of your drains so they can inspect the condition of your drains and identify blockages or damage.

The findings from the drain survey in London will then be reported back to you and repair or cleaning recommendations will be provided (if required).

How long does a CCTV Drain Survey take?

We have the expertise to complete CCTV drain surveys quickly and efficiently. The quicker we can establish the issue, the sooner it can be resolved.

The time it takes to complete the CCTV drain survey itself depends on how much pipework and drainage you have. The larger the drains, the longer it takes to locate the problem.

On average, it takes 2 hours to survey 2-3 manholes – giving ample time to discover the root cause of the problem and recommend the appropriate action to take.
