Specialist CCTV Drain Surveys • Fixed Prices • No VAT • 35+ Years’ Experience
How the Investigation Works
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.
What Recurring Blockage Investigations in Steyning Can Reveal
A properly targeted inspection can identify root ingress, open or displaced joints, fractures, deformation, standing water, deposits, poor connections, redundant branches and previous repairs. The significance of each finding depends on its position, severity and relationship to the reason for the survey.
How the Survey Is Carried Out
Accessible pipework is checked and, where necessary, cleared sufficiently for the camera to travel and produce useful images. The route, condition and important observations are recorded, with limitations explained where a section cannot be reached.
When Recurring Blockage Investigations Are Worthwhile
Recurring Blockage Investigations in Steyning are particularly useful before buying a property, before or after building work, for repeated drainage symptoms, where a repair decision needs evidence, or when an insurer, landlord or property manager requires a clearer understanding of the drainage system.
When Recurring Blockage Investigations in Steyning Are 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.
The cheapest repair is not always the best repair, but equally the most extensive option is not automatically necessary.
Drainage systems often cross boundaries or connect with shared pipework. Ownership and responsibility may need checking before repairs are arranged.
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 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.
Who carries out the work?
Chris Peters carries out the drainage work personally.
What can a CCTV drain survey reveal?
It can identify visible roots, fractures, open or displaced joints, deformation, deposits, standing water, poor connections and previous repairs.
Will I receive clear findings?
Yes. I explain the important observations in plain English and distinguish between urgent defects, sensible maintenance and minor items that may simply be monitored.
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.
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.
Do you cover Steyning?
Yes. I cover Steyning and genuinely nearby areas, subject to availability and the type of work required.
Can you inspect shared drains?
Often yes, although access, permission and responsibility may need to be considered where pipework serves more than one property.
Can I send photos first?
Yes. Photos, previous reports and a short history can help me understand what may be needed before attending.
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.
How quickly can work be arranged?
Availability varies, so it is best to call or WhatsApp with the location and a brief description of the problem.
Do you charge VAT?
No VAT is added to my prices.
