What Is a CCTV Drain Survey?

A CCTV drain survey involves passing a specialist waterproof camera through your underground drainage system.

This allows us to inspect areas of pipework that would otherwise be impossible to see without excavation.

The camera can help identify problems including:

  • Cracked or fractured drain pipes
  • Collapsed drains
  • Displaced pipe joints
  • Tree-root ingress
  • Fat, grease and waste build-up
  • Scale and debris
  • Obstructions
  • Damaged connections
  • Poorly flowing sections of drainage
  • Recurring blockage problems

Rather than guessing where a drainage problem is located, CCTV equipment allows us to investigate the system and determine the next course of action.

Why Might You Need a CCTV Drain Inspection?

Not every blocked drain requires a CCTV survey.

However, when a drainage problem keeps returning after being cleared, there may be an underlying defect that needs investigating.

We commonly recommend CCTV inspection when customers experience:

Recurring Blocked Drains

If the same drain repeatedly blocks, simply clearing it may not address the underlying cause.

A CCTV inspection can help determine whether damaged pipework, roots, displaced joints or another obstruction is responsible.

Suspected Collapsed or Broken Drains

Ground movement, age and deterioration can damage underground drainage.

A camera inspection can help locate the affected section before repair work begins.

Tree-Root Ingress

Roots can enter underground drainage through damaged joints and small defects.

Once inside the pipe, they can continue growing and eventually restrict the flow or contribute to further damage.

Drainage Problems With No Obvious Cause

Sometimes everything above ground appears normal while the problem is hidden underground.

CCTV allows us to investigate what's actually happening inside the pipework.


CCTV Drain Surveys Before Buying a Property

Buying a property is a major investment, but the condition of underground drainage can easily be overlooked.

A CCTV drainage inspection can help identify potential problems before they become expensive surprises.

Depending on the drainage system, an inspection may reveal issues such as:

  • Cracked pipework
  • Root intrusion
  • Displaced joints
  • Restricted flow
  • Previous poor repairs
  • Damaged underground connections
  • Potential collapsed sections

If you are purchasing a property in Crosby or the surrounding area and have concerns about its drainage system, contact Drain Scout to discuss a CCTV inspection.


CCTV Drain Surveys Followed by Repairs

One of the advantages of using Drain Scout is that we're not simply a CCTV survey company.

We're drain repair specialists.

If an inspection identifies damaged drainage, we can advise you on the appropriate repair.

Our drainage services include:

  • Underground drain repairs
  • Drain pipe replacement
  • Collapsed drain repairs
  • Root removal
  • Gulley repairs and replacement
  • Manhole repairs
  • High-pressure drain jetting
  • Drain unblocking

Where practical, we'll target the affected section rather than excavating unnecessarily.


From CCTV Inspection to Completed Repair

At Drain Scout, we can manage the drainage problem from the initial investigation through to the completed repair.

1. Investigate - We inspect the drainage system and locate the suspected problem.

2. Identify - CCTV equipment helps establish what's happening inside the pipe.

3. Recommend - We'll explain what we've found and discuss the appropriate solution.

4. Repair - Where repairs are required, the affected drainage can be exposed and repaired or replaced as necessary.

5. Test - The drainage system can then be checked to confirm that it is flowing correctly.

This approach means we're focused on finding the cause of the problem rather than repeatedly treating the symptom.
