What Is a CCTV Drain Survey?

A CCTV drain survey involves inserting a high-definition camera into your drainage system to carry out a full internal inspection.

This allows us to:

Identify blockages and build-up
Detect cracks, fractures and displaced joints
Locate root intrusion
Identify collapsed or damaged pipework
Map your drainage system layout

This method is non-intrusive, cost-effective and far more accurate than traditional inspection methods.
