Specialist CCTV Drain Surveys • Fixed Prices • No VAT • 35+ Years’ Experience
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
Good drainage advice should separate urgent defects from normal wear, minor imperfections and items that simply need monitoring.
Repeated clearance without understanding the cause can cost more in the long run. Where a pattern is developing, evidence is usually worth obtaining.
Standing water does not automatically mean collapse. The pipe gradient, local deformation, silt and access position all need considering.
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.
Do you charge VAT?
No VAT is added to my prices.
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 I send photos first?
Yes. Photos, previous reports and a short history can help me understand what may be needed before attending.
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.
Do you provide footage or findings?
The output depends on the service booked, but the important findings and recommendations are explained clearly.
Do you carry out commercial work?
Yes. Commercial drainage investigations can be planned around the property, access arrangements and reporting requirements.
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 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.
Do all defects need repairing?
No. Whether repair is justified depends on the severity, location, symptoms, flow and risk associated with the defect.
How much experience do you have?
I have more than 35 years of practical drainage experience, including previous council drainage work.
