Home — CCTV Drain Survey in Dorchester: Why Every New Homeowner Should Book One
Moving house is among the top five most stressful life events. It’s not surprising as there is so much to do. In between juggling house viewings, solicitors, mortgage brokers, surveyors, and estate agents, with your full-time work, family commitments, and trying to pack your life up until now into boxes, you often overlook the state of repair of the new house you’re moving into and assume everything works just fine.

So imagine the distress you’d feel if that very first day you move into your new home and flush the toilet you’re rewarded with a drain blockage which makes the water overflow back into the bathroom, flooding the floor and making a mess you feel too tired to clean up.

The stress of the house move comes crashing down on you and you want to either cry or scream, but you can hear the bathroom door upstairs close and the shower switch on. You yell at the top of your voice to your partner to switch off the water but it’s too late, another wave of water spurts out from the hand basin this time, spraying in all directions.

You manage to avoid getting soaked, but the carpet in the hallway is not so lucky. Why didn’t you think to close the door?

Having a blocked drain is more common than you might think. There are many reasons why a drain blockage can occur: roots, leaves, soil, gravel, and grass cuttings can be washed into the outside drainage system during a rainstorm, and hair, oil, grease, and even children’s toys can block sinks, showers, and toilets inside the house.

But when you have lived in your home for a while, you know the risks and normally have taken care to avoid them. That’s why when moving into a new house, it’s wise to inspect the drainage system as soon as you get access to the property. And who knows, if the inspection survey shows drain problems it may be a useful negotiating tool for the purchase price!!

How Does a CCTV Drainage Survey Work?

A CCTV Drain Survey is quite simple. It comprises a high-definition camera which is used to capture and record the entire scene inside the drainage pipes; access rods to help you maneuver the camera through complex pipework; crawlers to give more mobility and help view the condition of the drain even through obstructions; and sometimes sonar which helps you get a complete insight of the condition of the drain, despite any obstructions.

The camera is placed into the drain through an access manhole and rodding cap. It is maneuvered through the drainage system. capturing images as it goes through the pipework and logging the distance it travels so that the location of the blockage can be found again from outside.
