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
Where possible, I show the customer the important findings and explain them in ordinary language.
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.
Not every defect needs immediate repair. Age, position, severity, flow and symptoms all matter when deciding what is proportionate.
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
Who carries out the work?
Chris Peters carries out the drainage work personally.
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.
Do you provide footage or findings?
The output depends on the service booked, but the important findings and recommendations are explained clearly.
Can you inspect older clay drains?
Yes, provided there is suitable access and the pipe can be entered safely with the equipment.
Do you carry out commercial work?
Yes. Commercial drainage investigations can be planned around the property, access arrangements and reporting requirements.
Is there a call-out charge?
There is no separate call-out charge. The price and scope are discussed as clearly as possible before work starts.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
