WHAT IS A CCTV DRAIN SURVEY?
A CCTV drain survey is a modern, non-invasive method used to inspect the inside of your drainage system. By inserting a high-resolution camera into the pipes, we get a clear, real-time view of any blockages, cracks, or structural issues hidden underground. The footage is recorded for detailed analysis, helping us pinpoint the exact cause of the problem. This allows us to recommend the most effective solution quickly and accurately, saving you time and money in the long run.
💧 What Can a CCTV Drain Survey Detect?
A CCTV drain inspection can uncover a wide range of drainage issues that may be hidden underground. Common problems identified include:
- Tree roots breaking into pipes (root intrusion)
- Rodents or rats nesting within the drainage system
- Cracks, fractures, or collapses in drainpipes
- Unused or outdated drainage lines are still connected to your system
- Build-up of fats, oils, and grease causes blockages
- Everyday debris like soap scum, hair, and food waste reducing water flow
This advanced survey helps homeowners and businesses pinpoint drainage faults early, saving time, money, and potential property damage.
🛠️ Why You Might Need a CCTV Drain Survey in Berkshire
If you’re a homeowner or property buyer in Berkshire, a professional CCTV drain survey can help you avoid unexpected drainage issues. Here’s why it might be essential:
🏠 Buying a New Home
Before purchasing a property in Berkshire, a CCTV drain inspection can reveal hidden problems in the drainage system that may cost thousands to repair later.
🏗️ Planning an Extension
Thinking about building an extension? A pre-construction drain survey will map out the location and condition of nearby drains, helping you avoid costly disruptions or delays.
🐀 Dealing with Rats
Rats only need a small gap to enter your home. A drain survey can detect cracks, open joints, or other defects where rodents may gain access.
🌧️ Experiencing Surface Water Flooding
Frequent pooling or flooding outside your home? A CCTV survey can uncover blockages or collapsed pipes, causing poor water drainage.
🏚️ Noticing Signs of Subsidence
Leaking or damaged underground drains can lead to serious structural movement. A CCTV inspection helps identify such issues early before they worsen.

If you’re constantly battling with blocked drains or unpleasant odours, a CCTV drain survey can pinpoint the root cause and guide to a permanent solution.

Pre-purchase drain surveys for Berkshire homebuyers
Thinking about buying a home in Berkshire? Don’t overlook the importance of a pre-purchase drain survey. Many homeowners only discover hidden drain issues, like cracks, blockages, or structural defects, after moving in, which can lead to expensive repair bills. A professional drain inspection before you buy can help uncover any existing problems early, giving you the chance to negotiate repairs with the seller or reconsider your purchase altogether. It’s a small investment that could save you thousands.
