When Should You Book a CCTV Drain Survey?

Not every drainage issue is visible from the surface. In many cases, the only reliable way to identify the cause is by inspecting the inside of the pipework.

A CCTV drain survey is recommended if you are experiencing:

Recurring blocked drains
Slow-draining sinks, toilets or showers
Persistent foul odours around your property
Suspected root intrusion
Damp caused by damaged underground drainage
Ongoing drainage issues where the cause isn't obvious

Rather than relying on assumptions, we use recorded footage from our drain surveys to identify exactly where the problem lies and recommend the most appropriate solution.

Our Approach

Supporting Somerset Properties

Somerset's drainage systems are incredibly varied. We regularly inspect everything from modern housing developments to Victorian terraces, converted farm buildings and rural properties with private drainage networks.
Our CCTV surveys are commonly carried out for:

Homebuyers

A standard building survey rarely includes the condition of underground drains. A CCTV inspection can reveal hidden defects before contracts are exchanged, helping buyers understand the true condition of the drainage system before committing to the purchase.

Existing Homeowners

If your drains have started blocking more frequently or you've noticed unusual smells, standing water or slow drainage, a survey can identify whether the issue is simply a blockage or something more serious, such as cracked pipework or displaced joints.

Landlords & Commercial Premises

From rental properties and holiday accommodation to restaurants, offices and agricultural buildings, we help property owners understand the condition of their drainage systems and plan repairs before small issues become costly emergencies.

What Happens During the Survey?

Every CCTV drain survey follows a straightforward process designed to provide accurate information without unnecessary disruption.

Drain Assessment

We locate suitable access points and assess the drainage system before introducing specialist camera equipment into the pipework.

Camera Inspection

Using high-definition CCTV cameras, we inspect the drain from end to end, identifying blockages, root intrusion, cracked pipes, collapsed sections, displaced joints and other structural defects.

Findings & Recommendations

Once the survey is complete, we explain exactly what we've found in straightforward language. You'll receive a written report together with recommendations for any further work, whether that's simple drain clearance, drain repairs or no work at all.

Why Local Experience Makes a Difference

After surveying drainage systems across Somerset for many years, we've learnt that every property tells a different story. Older clay pipework, mature trees, changing ground conditions and private drainage systems all present challenges that aren't always obvious from above ground.
That's why we never recommend repairs based on assumptions. We use CCTV evidence to confirm the condition of your drainage system first, ensuring any work that follows is based on facts rather than guesswork. If your drains only need clearing, we'll tell you. If repairs are genuinely required, we'll explain the evidence and provide a fixed-price quotation before any work begins.
