What I Look For
A CCTV camera is passed through accessible drainage pipework to examine its internal condition. Depending on the service, the inspection may look for roots, fractures, open or displaced joints, deformation, deposits, standing water, poor connections, previous repairs or evidence relevant to a property transaction or insurance matter.
The value comes from matching the inspection to the question being asked. A homebuyer survey, build-over check, defect investigation and commercial survey may require different coverage and reporting.
What CCTV Drain Surveys in Farningham Can Reveal
A properly targeted inspection can identify root ingress, open or displaced joints, fractures, deformation, standing water, deposits, poor connections, redundant branches and previous repairs. The significance of each finding depends on its position, severity and relationship to the reason for the survey.
How the Survey Is Carried Out
Accessible pipework is checked and, where necessary, cleared sufficiently for the camera to travel and produce useful images. The route, condition and important observations are recorded, with limitations explained where a section cannot be reached.
When CCTV Drain Surveys Are Worthwhile
CCTV Drain Surveys in Farningham are particularly useful before buying a property, before or after building work, for repeated drainage symptoms, where a repair decision needs evidence, or when an insurer, landlord or property manager requires a clearer understanding of the drainage system.
Clear Findings, Not Just Camera Footage
The important result is a practical explanation of what has been found and what it means. Minor imperfections should not be presented as major failures, while defects that are likely to affect flow, stability or future maintenance should be clearly identified.
When CCTV Drain Surveys in Farningham Are Appropriate
This service is appropriate when evidence is needed before purchase, repair, building work, an insurance decision or investigation of recurring symptoms.
Chris’s Professional Advice
The cheapest repair is not always the best repair, but equally the most extensive option is not automatically necessary.
Not every defect needs immediate repair. Age, position, severity, flow and symptoms all matter when deciding what is proportionate.
Access conditions can affect what can be surveyed. I explain any limitation clearly rather than pretending an unseen section has been inspected.
What Happens Next
I first establish the reason for the visit and the most useful access points. I then carry out the relevant clearance, inspection or investigation, explain the findings and discuss proportionate options. Where another trade, pest controller, insurer or structural specialist is more appropriate, I say so.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can a survey help before buying a house?
Yes. A homebuyer drain survey can reveal defects and maintenance issues that are not visible during a normal property viewing.

It can identify visible roots, fractures, open or displaced joints, deformation, deposits, standing water, poor connections and previous repairs.
Who carries out the work?
Chris Peters carries out the drainage work personally.
Will I receive clear findings?
Yes. I explain the important observations in plain English and distinguish between urgent defects, sensible maintenance and minor items that may simply be monitored.
Do you charge VAT?
No VAT is added to my prices.
Which postcode areas do you cover around Farningham?
I cover Farningham and surrounding postcode districts, subject to availability and the type of drainage work required.
Will a survey always find the cause?
A survey often provides valuable evidence, but access, submerged sections, inaccessible branches or non-drainage causes can limit what can be confirmed.
Can I send photos first?
Yes. Photos, previous reports and a short history can help me understand what may be needed before attending.
Can you inspect after a blockage has been cleared?
Yes. This is often the best time to inspect where a blockage has been recurring or the cause remains uncertain.
Do you cover Farningham?
Yes. I cover Farningham and genuinely nearby areas, subject to availability and the type of work required.
Is there a call-out charge?
There is no separate call-out charge. The price and scope are discussed as clearly as possible before work starts.

I have more than 35 years of practical drainage experience, including previous council drainage work.
