Expert CCTV Drain Surveys in Devon
Fast, accurate diagnostics for homeowners & businesses in Exeter, Exmouth, Torquay and beyond.

Drainage problems can be a real headache, and guessing the cause can lead to costly, unnecessary work. A CCTV drain survey takes the guesswork out of it. You might need one if:

• You have recurring blockages: If your drains or sewers keep blocking, especially with stubborn issues like fatbergs or root ingress, a survey can pinpoint the exact location and nature of the obstruction.
• Before buying or selling property: A pre-purchase drain inspection in Bradninch can reveal hidden defects, structural damage, or old pitch fibre pipes, potentially saving you thousands in future repair costs.
• Planning an extension or build-over: If you're building over or near a public sewer, a build-over survey is usually a requirement to ensure your plans won't compromise the drainage system.
• Suspect structural damage: Cracks, collapsed pipes, or misaligned joints can lead to leaks, subsidence, and pest problems. Our cameras can identify these structural defects without digging.
• Foul odours or pest issues: Unpleasant smells or the presence of rodents can often be traced back to a drainage defect or disused pipework, which a survey can uncover.
• Commercial drainage audits: Businesses in Bradninch and beyond often benefit from regular drain surveys for preventative maintenance and to ensure compliance.

At Drain 2 Flow Devon, we invest in the latest high-definition CCTV camera equipment to perform thorough drain inspections. Our cameras are fed into your drainage system, providing a live, detailed view of the pipe's internal condition. We can navigate bends and junctions, reaching deep into your drains, whether they’re small domestic pipes or larger commercial sewers. The footage is recorded, and we can provide detailed Wincan reports – the industry standard for drain survey reporting – complete with clear recommendations for any necessary drain repairs or maintenance. We also offer drain tracing and sonar mapping services to accurately plot the route and depth of your drainage system, which is invaluable for planning or pinpointing problem areas.

Our detailed drain surveys are designed to provide a complete picture of your drainage system's health. We can identify a wide range of common and niche issues, including:

• Blockages: From everyday blockages to severe fatbergs, scale buildup, or foreign objects.
• Structural Defects: Cracks, fractures, collapsed pipes, open joints, or tree root intrusion.
• Pipe Condition: The material, age, and overall integrity of your pipes, including identifying old pitch fibre reforming needs.
• Misconnections: Incorrect connections of foul and surface water drainage that can lead to flooding or pollution.
• Rodent Ingress Points: Gaps or damage in pipes that allow rats and other pests to enter your property.
• Gradient and Flow Issues: Problems with the pipe's fall that cause poor drainage.
  Once the survey is complete, our experienced team will explain the findings in plain English, discussing the best, most efficient solution for any issues, from high-pressure water jetting to no-dig relining.
