What a CCTV drain survey is
A CCTV drain survey sends a small camera through your drains so the inside of the pipe can be seen. Instead of guessing why a drain is blocking, you see the cause: a blockage, a damaged section, or something that should not be in there.
That matters because a drain that has been cleared is not always a drain that has been fixed. If the same problem returns, the cause is probably still there. A survey is how you find it.
We offer CCTV drain surveys for homes and businesses, and we can combine them with unblocking, jetting or repairs when the survey shows what is needed.
When a survey makes sense
If any of these sound familiar, it is worth getting it looked at before it gets worse.
- Blockages that keep coming back
- Slow drains with no obvious cause
- Bad smells that will not go away
- Damp or wet patches outside
- A property where you want to know the condition of the drains
- Suspected damage to a drain
What a CCTV survey can find
- Blockages and obstructions. Seen directly, so we know what is in the pipe and where.
- Cracks and damaged sections. Fractures and breaks that allow debris to catch or water to escape.
- Displaced joints. Sections that have moved out of line, creating a step where debris collects.
- Root ingress. Roots entering a pipe at joints or cracks.
- Build-up inside the pipe. Deposits narrowing the pipe and slowing the flow.
- Collapsed or deformed pipe. A section that has caved in or changed shape.
What happens on a visit
We come to the property and run a small camera through the drain. The camera shows the inside of the pipe, so we can see its condition and locate any problem.
We explain what we see and talk you through the options, which might be jetting, a repair, or simply keeping an eye on the drain. Because we are an independent specialist, you speak to the person who has looked at your drain.
How we carry out a survey
We call it a camera inspection, and it is simple from your point of view: we come to you, run the camera through the drain, and find the cause. We explain what we see and discuss what, if anything, needs doing. If repairs are needed, see our drainage repairs and maintenance page.
Domestic and commercial properties
At home
For homeowners, a survey is most useful when a drain has blocked before, when there is damp outside with no obvious source, or when you want to know what you are dealing with.
For businesses
For businesses, landlords and managed properties, a survey shows the condition of the drains you are responsible for, which helps with planning repairs and maintenance.
Using a survey to avoid future problems
A few small habits make a real difference.
- Survey a drain that has blocked more than once
- Consider a survey if you are taking on a property and want to know what condition the drains are in
- Look into recurring damp or smells outside rather than waiting
- Combine a survey with cleaning, so you know the drain is both clear and sound
- Follow up on what the survey shows, rather than leaving it
When to call us

Frequently asked questions
What can a CCTV drain survey show?
It shows the inside of the pipe, so we can identify blockages, damage and other problems that cannot be seen from above ground.
Do I need a survey if the drain is flowing again?
If it has blocked before, a survey is worth considering. A flowing drain does not tell you why it blocked.
Can a survey be done at a commercial property?
Yes. We carry out CCTV drain surveys at domestic and commercial properties.
What happens if the survey finds a problem?
We explain what we found and what the options are, which may include a repair, jetting or ongoing maintenance.
