Expert Drain Surveys In Moretonhampstead, Devon

A CCTV drain survey involves inserting a high-resolution camera into your drainage pipes to inspect their internal condition. This allows us to see blockages, cracks, root ingress, dislodged pipes, or any other issues without having to dig up your property. It's a non-invasive way to get a clear picture of your drainage system's health.

You might need a drain survey for several reasons. If you're experiencing recurring blocked drains or slow-draining water, a survey can pinpoint the exact problem. It's also highly recommended if you're buying a new house to check for hidden defects, or if you're planning an extension that might affect existing drainage, known as a 'build-over' survey. Commercial properties also benefit from regular surveys for preventative maintenance.

The duration of a drain survey depends on the complexity and length of the drainage system being inspected. A standard domestic property survey might take an hour or two, while a more extensive commercial or industrial site could take longer. Our team will give you an estimated timeframe before we start work.

Our comprehensive CCTV drain surveys can identify a wide range of issues, including:

• Blockages caused by 'fatbergs', debris, or foreign objects.
• Root ingress from nearby trees or shrubs.
• Cracked, fractured, or collapsed pipes.
• Displaced joints or misaligned pipework.
• Scale build-up that restricts flow.
• Rodent infestations or entry points.
• General wear and tear or structural defects.
  Knowing the exact problem helps us provide efficient and targeted drain repairs.

Absolutely. After completing the inspection, we provide you with a comprehensive, easy-to-understand Wincan report. This includes a detailed written analysis, still images of any defects, and a full video recording of the survey. It will clearly outline any issues found, their severity, and our recommendations for any necessary drain repairs or maintenance.

Yes, definitely. If you have a toilet, sink, or other drain that keeps getting blocked, a CCTV survey is often the most efficient way to find out why. Instead of just clearing the blockage temporarily, our cameras can identify the underlying cause, whether it's a structural defect in the pipe, an accumulation of debris, or a deeper sewer problem, allowing us to provide a lasting solution.
