In this article, we are going to look at what a CCTV drainage survey is, how the CCTV drain survey is carried out and when you should consider booking one with us.

A CCTV drain survey is a non-invasive method of inspecting a drainage system. The survey is carried out by a trained professional who will use a CCTV camera to inspect the drainage system. The camera is inserted into the drainage system to inspect the pipes for corrosion, cracks, and other damage.
nn
There are two types of CCTV surveys; external (or surface) and internal (or borehole). External surveys involve the use of an inspection pole fitted with a camera that can be inserted from inside or outside your property, depending on what access you have.
nn
A borehole inspection requires specialist equipment such as an auger or pipe puller that requires access through your home’s foundations before entering your sewerage network via underground pipes.

A CCTV drain survey is a video inspection of the drainage system. The drain survey specialist uses CCTV equipment to inspect all of your drains from the above ground as well as below ground. The camera sends images back to a monitor where you can see everything that is going on inside each pipe.
nn
The inspection records any sign of damage, corrosion, or blockage ready for later analysis, and software is used to determine the exact location of any problems to enable direct access to the area to make any repairs or do maintenance.
nn
The high resolution of the camera and expertise of the operator allows the exact diagnosis to be made, which means that the engineer can recommend the correct strategy before digging into the drainage system.
nn
Where the problem has been caused by a blockage, the debris can be identified so the right approach (e.g. chemical unblockers, drain jetting, etc.) can be decided straight away.

A CCTV drain survey is a fast, cost-effective, and safe way to check your drainage system. At Pro Blocked Drains, we can carry out this service without disruption to you, as we don’t have to dig up the ground or remove any manhole covers.

We use a remote-controlled camera with a flexible cable that allows us to view the inside of your drainage system from the outside.

The camera will travel along the pipe, taking pictures which are then transmitted back to our office where they are assessed by one of our engineers who will provide you with an accurate diagnosis of what may be causing problems in your drains.

A CCTV drain survey is the perfect way to check if you have any leaks or cracks in your drainage system. It is also very useful in detecting other problems that might affect your home or business, like tree roots growing underneath the ground and causing damage.
