Clear Visual Proof of What Is Happening Underground
Underground drainage pipes are hidden beneath driveways, lawns, and concrete floors. When drains block repeatedly, trying to guess what is wrong wastes time and money. A CCTV camera survey shows you the exact condition of your pipe.
We insert a self-levelling HD camera with a built-in meter counter down your drain. As the camera travels along the pipe, a live colour video feed displays on our monitor screen, recording every crack, open joint, or tree root invasion.
You receive the full video recording and a written report detailing the exact defect distance from your manhole, complete with clear repair recommendations and fixed costs.

When You Need a CCTV Drain Survey
Essential diagnostic camera checks for recurring drain problems.
If your drain blocks every few weeks, a camera check finds hidden structural faults catching waste.
Roots seeking water enter through joint gaps. A camera shows exact root mass locations.
Inspects underground pipe runs to check if escaping wastewater is eroding soil under house foundations.
Measures exact pipe diameter and confirms pipe walls are sound enough to accept a resin liner.
Finds hidden hairline cracks or disused junction openings above water level where smells escape.
What Our Camera Survey Package Includes
Complete visual proof and expert repair recommendations.
Full digital video recording of your underground pipe runs showing internal wall condition.
Log showing exact distance (in metres) from your manhole hatch to any crack or root entry.
Clear written report explaining findings and fixed-price repair options.
- The camera requires an accessible inspection chamber, rodding eye, or unblocked access point.
- If a drain is completely full of heavy grease or thick silt, we hydro-jet the line clear first so the lens can see.
- A CCTV camera sees the internal pipe surface; it does not test hydraulic pressure or legal boundary maps.
Our engineering methods, no-dig lining specifications, and off-mains waste operations comply with statutory UK drainage codes and environmental guidelines:
