CCTV Drain Inspection 

Keeping your drains in the best working order can be a challenge when you can’t see what’s going on. That’s why it can be difficult to spot drainage problems until they become more serious and you need expert help.

With CCTV drain inspection services, we can carry out drainage surveys and reports for homes and businesses across Yorkshire if you’re having trouble with blocked drains or suspect you might have broken or damaged drainpipes and need help establishing the condition of your drains.

If you suspect you might have a drainage issue, a CCTV drain inspection is the most effective way to diagnose the problem. Instead of having to dig a hole or trench to investigate the drainage system, we can send a CCTV drain camera into the drain to find out the cause of the problem.

Advantages of CCTV drain camera survey 

A CCTV survey for drains can help an engineer to establish the condition of a drain or drainpipe and the root of a drainage problem, even for small domestic drains.

Using the CCTV technology can find areas of root penetration in drainpipes and uncover any bad joints or structural defects that might require a drain repair or maintenance work.

Once we’ve completed a thorough inspection of the drain, we can then compile a survey report with details on what the problem is and how it was caused along with the work required to solve the issue.

What issues can a CCTV drainage survey find?

CCTV drain investigations are the most efficient way to find the cause of a drainage problem, from the simple things like blockages to the bigger issues like broken pipes. A CCTV camera survey will identify various drain problems including:

• Pipe cracks and holes
• Damage from pests such as rats entering the drains
• Leaks
• Broken pipes
• Tree root intrusion
• Corrosion
• Displaced joints
• Open joint
• Blockages or build-up of debris
• Defective pitch fibre

How is a CCTV drain survey conducted?

1. When you book a survey with Alternative Drainage, our engineer will arrive at the specified time and discuss the issue before setting up the CCTV camera technology and equipment.
2. The engineer will get access to your drains and insert the most suitable camera equipment for your drainage system.
3. This will feedback a live view to the engineer on a computer so they can observe the conditions of your drain and identify any fault or blockage at this stage.
4. The engineer will report back on the findings along with their recommendations of what repair work is required.

Cheaper and easier than digging out, exposing and breaking into a drain, a CCTV drain survey is now the preferred method of investigating the condition of existing drainage.

A CCTV drain survey can establish the cause of frequent drain blockages or investigate subsidence or other structural movement in a commercial or domestic property.
