CCTV Drain Surveys

What is a CCTV drain survey?

A CCTV drain survey is a comprehensive inspection of a drainage system using a specialised closed-circuit television camera. This waterproof, high-definition camera is guided through the pipework to provide a real-time video feed of the interior. CCTV drain surveys can identify:

• Blockages, leaks and root ingress
• Structural defects such as cracks, fractures and collapses
• Misconnections or poor installation
• Overall condition and compliance are often required for pre-purchase or pre-construction surveys

Why are CCTV drain surveys important?

CCTV drain surveys deliver vital insights into the health and functionality of underground drainage systems:

• Risk reduction for developers: Reveal potential issues before construction to prevent costly surprises and delays
• Infrastructure planning for engineers: Inform effective connections and ensure compliance with environmental regulations
• Proactive maintenance for facilities managers: Enable early detection of minor defects, allowing repairs before emergencies occur

By conducting CCTV drain surveys, stakeholders gain confidence in their drainage assets and can plan maintenance or upgrades more effectively.
