What Our CCTV Drain Survey Can Help You Identify

A CCTV drain survey is designed to pinpoint the cause of recurring drainage or pest problems. Below are the most common issues we identify during inspections and the next steps we typically recommend.

Common Findings

Cracked or Displaced Pipes

Structural defects that can cause leaks, smells, repeat blockages, and pest entry points.

Root Ingress

Roots entering joints and fractures, restricting flow and triggering ongoing blockages.

Silt & Debris Build-up

Gradual restrictions that create slow draining, gurgling, and unpleasant odours.

Recurring Blockages

Identifies whether the problem is local build-up or a deeper defect that keeps returning.

Rodent Access Routes

Drain defects that may allow rats to travel under properties and enter internal voids. Learn more about how rats enter homes through drains.

Standing Water / Poor Fall

Low points and poor alignment that cause pooling and ongoing drainage issues.
