Introduction
Many property owners don’t realise that drain problems can go undetected until they become emergencies. A CCTV drain survey is a cost-effective way to identify hidden issues before they cause serious damage.
What Is a CCTV Drain Survey?
A CCTV drain survey involves inserting a small camera into your drainage system to inspect the condition of the pipes. It allows engineers to detect cracks, collapses, blockages, and root intrusion without the need for disruptive digging.
Benefits of a CCTV Survey
Early Detection – Spot problems before they escalate into costly repairs
Accurate Diagnosis – Engineers can see the exact location and cause of the blockage
Time and Cost Savings – Targeted repairs reduce labour and material costs
Peace of Mind – Know the condition of your drains and plan maintenance accordingly
When to Consider a CCTV Survey
Recurring blockages in the same drain
Older properties with ageing drainage systems
After flooding or water ingress incidents
Before buying a property to avoid hidden drainage issues
Conclusion
A CCTV drain survey is a smart investment for both homeowners and businesses. At Call2Drain, we provide professional CCTV inspections to help you maintain your drainage system and prevent costly emergencies.
