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
Good drainage advice should separate urgent defects from normal wear, minor imperfections and items that simply need monitoring.
Access conditions can affect what can be surveyed. I explain any limitation clearly rather than pretending an unseen section has been inspected.
The cheapest repair is not always the best repair, but equally the most extensive option is not automatically necessary.
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 identify displaced or open joints?
Yes. Joint condition is one of the common features assessed during CCTV work.
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 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 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.
Can you inspect shared drains?
Often yes, although access, permission and responsibility may need to be considered where pipework serves more than one property.
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.
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.
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.
How much experience do you have?
I have more than 35 years of practical drainage experience, including previous council drainage work.
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.
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.
