CCTV drainage surveys are a cutting-edge solution to understanding what’s happening underneath your property.
Using a high-tech, waterproof camera, engineers inspect your drainage system through manholes or access points, streaming live footage to identify issues such as blockages, cracks, tree root intrusion, or misaligned pipes.
This footage is recorded, producing a detailed report complete with diagrams, images, and recommendations for repairs or further inspection.
These surveys can be used in a variety of situations, and these are five of the most common.
1. Unpleasant Odours
Foul smells coming from drains often indicate hidden blockages or pipe damage. A CCTV inspection reveals the source without the need for invasive digging.
2. Persistent Blockages
If drains frequently back up or water drains slowly, a CCTV survey can pinpoint the exact cause, whether it’s debris, fatbergs, or collapsed pipes.
3. Before Property Purchases
Homebuyers can use a CCTV drain survey Nottingham or elsewhere to check for hidden drainage problems. This can help to avoid costly surprises after moving in.
If you’re purchasing a property, a CCTV drain survey in Nottingham or anywhere further afield has the tools you need to ensure there are no issues.
4. Post-Renovation or Construction
Extensions, upgrades, landscaping, or new builds may affect underground drains. A survey ensures that the pipes remain intact and properly aligned before and after work.
5. After Flooding or Water Damage
Following heavy rainfall or flooding, a CCTV survey identifies damaged pipes, blockages, or structural issues that may be contributing to water ingress.
