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
Structural defects that can cause leaks, smells, repeat blockages, and pest entry points.
Roots entering joints and fractures, restricting flow and triggering ongoing blockages.
Gradual restrictions that create slow draining, gurgling, and unpleasant odours.
Identifies whether the problem is local build-up or a deeper defect that keeps returning.
Drain defects that may allow rats to travel under properties and enter internal voids.
Low points and poor alignment that cause pooling and ongoing drainage issues.
