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.
When This Service Is 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
Not every defect needs immediate repair. Age, position, severity, flow and symptoms all matter when deciding what is proportionate.
Standing water does not automatically mean collapse. The pipe gradient, local deformation, silt and access position all need considering.
Repeated clearance without understanding the cause can cost more in the long run. Where a pattern is developing, evidence is usually worth obtaining.
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 I send photos first?
Yes. Photos, previous reports and a short history can help me understand what may be needed before attending.
Will you recommend the least disruptive repair?
Where repair is needed, I explain suitable options such as local patching, lining or excavation according to the actual defect.
Do you provide footage or findings?
The output depends on the service booked, but the important findings and recommendations are explained clearly.
Can you investigate a recurring smell?
Yes. Persistent smells can be linked to drainage defects, poor seals, trapped waste or other building issues, so the likely sources need assessing.
Can you inspect shared drains?
Often yes, although access, permission and responsibility may need to be considered where pipework serves more than one property.
Who carries out the work?
Chris Peters carries out the drainage work personally.
Can roots be seen during an inspection?
Usually yes. Root ingress often appears clearly, although heavy blockage or standing water may need clearing before the full extent can be assessed.
Can you inspect older clay drains?
Yes, provided there is suitable access and the pipe can be entered safely with the equipment.
Do you carry out commercial work?
Yes. Commercial drainage investigations can be planned around the property, access arrangements and reporting requirements.
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.
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.
How quickly can work be arranged?
Availability varies, so it is best to call or WhatsApp with the location and a brief description of the problem.
