CCTV Drain Survey — what the work involves

A camera is introduced through a suitable access point so the pipe condition, direction of travel and visible defects can be recorded without unnecessary excavation.

  • Confirm safe access points and the relevant drainage run.
  • Use suitable camera equipment to inspect and record visible pipe condition.
  • Explain observed findings, survey limits and sensible next steps.
CCTV Drain Survey

Your questions,
answered.

What does cctv drain survey show?

It records the visible internal condition of the accessible drainage run, including any apparent defects, restrictions or changes in pipe condition.

Will I receive footage from the cctv drain survey?

Footage, images and reporting are confirmed in the agreed scope; the format depends on the survey purpose and site requirements.

Can a camera survey avoid digging?

It can provide useful internal evidence without excavation where the pipe can be accessed and surveyed, although some defects may still need further investigation.

What if the camera cannot pass?

The survey records the point and likely reason where possible. Cleaning, additional access or a different method may be recommended before a further inspection.

Is the whole drainage system always surveyed?

Only runs that can be safely accessed and navigated are surveyed. The report should make clear which areas were inspected and any limitations.

What affects the cost of cctv drain survey?

Access, pipe length and diameter, survey purpose, site restrictions, reporting detail, tracing requirements and any traffic or access controls affect the quotation.

What information should I prepare?

Have the property postcode, access-point location, known drainage history and any previous reports or plans ready.
