CCTV Drain Surveys in Shropshire and Worcestershire

CCTV drain surveys: clear answers without the guesswork

A CCTV drain survey is one of the quickest and most accurate ways to find out what’s happening inside your drains. Instead of digging or guessing, we feed a small camera into the pipework and get a live video view of the entire system. This shows us exactly where the problem is and what has caused it, so we can recommend the right fix straight away.

How a CCTV survey works

We use a high-quality camera attached to a flexible rod or push-along system. As we guide it through the pipe, it records clear footage and sends it to a monitor, allowing us to spot issues such as:

• Cracks or fractures
• Collapsed sections
• Root intrusion
• Fat, grease, and scale build-up
• Misaligned joints
• Repeated silt or debris build-up

If there’s a blockage, damage, or something unusual, we’ll see it instantly. We save the footage and can replay sections to give you a clear explanation of what’s happening underground.

When you might need a CCTV drain survey

CCTV surveys are useful for more than just emergencies. You may want one if:

• Your drains keep blocking
• Water is backing up or draining slowly
• You’re buying or selling a property
• There are bad smells or flooding outside
• You’re planning building work or an extension
• You suspect damage but aren’t sure where

Because the survey pinpoints the exact cause and location of any issue, it prevents unnecessary digging and helps avoid repeated call-outs.

Why CCTV surveys are so effective

A CCTV drain survey gives you clear answers with no disruption. It’s fast, accurate, and cost-effective. In most cases, we complete the survey in under an hour, depending on the size and layout of the drainage system.

The main benefits include:

• Accurate diagnosis – know exactly what’s wrong
• Faster repairs – we target the exact area
• No digging required – no mess around your home or garden
• Prevention – spot early signs of wear or damage
• Proof for insurance or building work

What you receive after the survey

Once the survey is complete, we show you the footage and explain what we’ve found in clear, straightforward terms. If repairs or cleaning are needed, we’ll outline your options and the likely costs so you can make an informed decision.
