When Should You Book a CCTV Drain Inspection?
A CCTV drain inspection gives us a clear view inside your pipework, helping us locate the cause of a drainage problem before recommending repairs. An inspection may be useful for:
​
-
Recurring or difficult-to-clear blocked drains
-
Slow drainage, gurgling pipes or unpleasant smells
-
Suspected tree-root intrusion, cracks or damaged pipework
-
Checking the condition of drains before buying a property
-
Planning renovations, drainage repairs or excavation work
-
Confirming whether a previous drain repair has resolved the problem
How a CCTV Drain Inspection Works
-
Access the drain
We identify a suitable access point and carefully feed the specialist camera through the drain.
-
Inspect the pipework
Live camera footage allows us to examine the condition of the pipe and look for blockages, tree roots, cracks, damaged joints or other faults.
-
Identify the cause
We assess what is causing the issue and determine where further investigation or repair may be required.
-
Recommend the next step
We explain what we have found and recommend an appropriate solution, which may include cleaning, root cutting, repair work or ongoing monitoring.

CCTV Drain Inspection FAQs
What can a CCTV drain inspection detect?
A CCTV inspection can help identify blockages, tree-root intrusion, cracks, damaged or displaced joints and other faults inside accessible drain pipework.
​
Do my drains need to be cleared before the inspection?
If the drain is heavily blocked or dirty, hydro jetting may be required first so the camera has a clear view. We can assess the drain and recommend the appropriate approach.
​
Can you inspect drains before purchasing or renovating a property?
Yes. A CCTV inspection can help assess the condition of accessible drains before a property purchase, renovation, excavation or drainage repair.
​
What happens after the CCTV inspection?
We explain what the footage shows and recommend the next step. Depending on the findings, this may include drain clearing, root cutting, repairs or ongoing monitoring.
