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
A survey should lead to a decision, not just produce footage. The report and recommendation must match the reason for inspecting.
Where possible, I show the customer the important findings and explain them in ordinary language.
The most useful investigation is the one that answers a specific question. Before starting, I consider the symptoms, history and layout so the work remains focused.
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 you inspect older clay drains?
Yes, provided there is suitable access and the pipe can be entered safely with the equipment.
What does Homebuyer Drain Surveys involve?
The exact process depends on the reason for the visit, but it normally includes checking access, investigating the relevant drainage run, recording findings and explaining the result.
Who carries out the work?
Chris Peters carries out the drainage work personally.
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.
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.
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.
Can you inspect shared drains?
Often yes, although access, permission and responsibility may need to be considered where pipework serves more than one property.
Will I receive clear advice?
Yes. I explain the important findings in plain English and distinguish between urgent work, sensible maintenance and items that may simply be monitored.
Can you help with insurance evidence?
Yes. Insurance-related investigations can record the condition and location of relevant defects, although the insurer decides what evidence and cover they accept.
Can you map the route of a drain?
In many cases, yes. Drain tracing and observations from access points can help establish routes, connections and likely positions.
Can I send photos first?
Yes. Photos, previous reports and a short history can help me understand what may be needed before attending.
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.
