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

Access conditions can affect what can be surveyed. I explain any limitation clearly rather than pretending an unseen section has been inspected.

Standing water does not automatically mean collapse. The pipe gradient, local deformation, silt and access position all need considering.

A camera image on its own is not enough. The important part is interpreting what it shows and deciding whether the finding is relevant to the problem.

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.

Nearby Areas Covered

I also cover Streatham, Streatham Hill, Streatham Vale, Surbiton, Sutton, Swiss Cottage, Sydenham and other parts of Greater London.

Frequently Asked Questions

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.

How much experience do you have?

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

What does CCTV 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.

Do all defects need repairing?

No. Whether repair is justified depends on the severity, location, symptoms, flow and risk associated with the defect.

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.

Do you charge VAT?

No VAT is added to my prices.

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 you inspect older clay drains?

Yes, provided there is suitable access and the pipe can be entered safely with the equipment.

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 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 carry out commercial work?

Yes. Commercial drainage investigations can be planned around the property, access arrangements and reporting requirements.
