What the Service Covers
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
Repeated clearance without understanding the cause can cost more in the long run. Where a pattern is developing, evidence is usually worth obtaining.
Not every defect needs immediate repair. Age, position, severity, flow and symptoms all matter when deciding what is proportionate.
Drainage systems often cross boundaries or connect with shared pipework. Ownership and responsibility may need checking before repairs are arranged.
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.
Do you carry out commercial work?
Yes. Commercial drainage investigations can be planned around the property, access arrangements and reporting requirements.
Do you charge VAT?
No VAT is added to my prices.
Can I send photos first?
Yes. Photos, previous reports and a short history can help me understand what may be needed before attending.
Do you cover Shenley?
Yes. I cover Shenley and surrounding areas, subject to availability and the type of work required.
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.
How much experience do you have?
I have more than 35 years of practical drainage experience, including previous council drainage work.
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.
Do all defects need repairing?
No. Whether repair is justified depends on the severity, location, symptoms, flow and risk associated with the defect.
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 identify displaced or open joints?
Yes. Joint condition is one of the common features assessed during CCTV work.
What happens if part of the drain cannot be reached?
I explain the limitation and what additional access or clearance may be needed. I do not describe an unseen section as inspected.
