What We Do

CCTV Drain Surveys

A proven, non-disruptive way to find out exactly what's happening inside your pipework. High-definition camera surveys pinpoint defects, blockages and structural issues below ground, backed by a full written report for every job.

Know The Signs

What we're looking for.

A CCTV survey catches the faults that cause blockages, collapses and compliance failures, before they turn into an emergency call-out.

The Process

How a survey runs.

A well-established method for finding faults in pipework of any size, without breaking ground.

01

Camera Enters The Line

A high-quality colour pan-and-rotate camera is pushed through the pipe on a rod, or self-driven on a tractor unit for longer or larger runs.

02

Live Feed To The Rig

Both camera types send a real-time picture back to the CCTV vehicle, viewed on screen by the operative as the survey happens.

03

Findings Reported

Defects are flagged as they're found, then followed up with a full written and digital report.

What's Included

Every survey, fully equipped.

Fully remote-controlled equipment and industry-standard reporting, whatever the pipe, drain or structure.
