A Practical Approach
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
Drainage systems often cross boundaries or connect with shared pipework. Ownership and responsibility may need checking before repairs are arranged.
Good drainage advice should separate urgent defects from normal wear, minor imperfections and items that simply need monitoring.
A clear drain can still contain a defect, while a blocked drain can sometimes be structurally sound. Symptoms and evidence must be considered together.
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
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.
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.
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.
Who carries out the work?
Chris Peters carries out the drainage work personally.
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.
Can you inspect older clay drains?
Yes, provided there is suitable access and the pipe can be entered safely with the equipment.
Do you provide footage or findings?
The output depends on the service booked, but the important findings and recommendations are explained clearly.
Can you identify displaced or open joints?
Yes. Joint condition is one of the common features assessed during CCTV work.
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.
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.
Can I send photos first?
Yes. Photos, previous reports and a short history can help me understand what may be needed before attending.
