Inspect, don’t guess
See the problem before you fix it.
A waterproof camera travels through the pipe and sends live footage back to a monitor, so we can see cracks, roots, collapses or build-up exactly where they are.
It takes the guesswork out of the next step — and means you only pay for the work the drain actually needs.
Recognise the problem
When should a drain be inspected?
Not every drain problem needs a camera. A survey is worth it when the cause isn’t obvious or the same issue keeps returning.
- 01
Blockages that keep coming back
The same drain blocking again after it has been cleared.
- 02
Suspected damage
Damp patches, subsidence or smells that suggest a pipe defect.
- 03
Trees near the drain run
Mature trees close to the drainage can point to root ingress.
- 04
Slow drainage with no clear cause
Water drains away slowly but nothing obvious is blocking it.
- 05
Before deciding on a repair
Checking the pipe’s condition so the right repair can be chosen.
- 06
Checking a drain after clearing
Confirming the pipe is clear and flowing properly.
What the camera shows
What a CCTV drain survey can reveal.
The footage shows what is visible inside the pipe. Where something is found, we explain it in plain terms.
Cracks and fractures
Breaks in the pipe wall that can leak or catch waste.
Root ingress
Roots growing in through joints or defects.
Displaced joints
Sections that have shifted out of line and disrupt the flow.
Collapsed sections
Parts of the pipe that have partly or fully collapsed.
Obstructions
Build-up, debris or objects lodged in the pipe.
General condition
An overall picture of how the drain is holding up.
How it works
In through an access point. No digging.
The camera goes in through an existing inspection chamber or access point and is guided along the drain run. Your garden or driveway stays as it is.
How it works
How the survey works.

- 04
Explain the findings
We talk you through what we saw and what we recommend, with a quote.
After the inspection
What happens next depends on what we find.
Sometimes the drain just needs cleaning. Sometimes the pipe needs repair. The footage tells us which.
- 01
Build-up and debris
- 02
Root ingress
- 03
Suitable damaged pipes
- 04
Structural damage
Recurring blockages
Blocked again?
Clearing a drain over and over doesn’t fix why it keeps blocking.
When a blockage returns, a survey can show whether something in the pipe is catching waste, such as:
- Root ingress
- Cracked pipework
- Displaced joints
- Sagging sections
- Persistent build-up
