CCTV drain inspections
See inside the drain before you pay to dig
When a drain keeps blocking, or you suspect a broken pipe under paving, a CCTV camera shows what is happening inside. We inspect the accessible pipework and load the findings, with photos, onto our live electronic job card system for you to view. You decide on repairs with the evidence in front of you.

Scope
What the camera inspection covers
-
Blockages that keep returning
Find out why a drain keeps blocking after it has been cleared, and what it would take to stop it.
-
Suspected damage
Cracks, displaced joints, root intrusion or collapsed sections in the accessible pipes.
-
Before you buy, lease or build
The condition of the drains checked before a purchase, a new lease or a fit-out that relies on them.
-
Clearing first, if needed
If a blockage stops the camera, we clear it first and quote that separately.
On site
Inspections at working premises
We need access to inspection points, which are often in parking areas, kitchens or behind shops. We agree a time when those areas can be used for the inspection, protect the opening while we work and close everything up when we are done. The camera can only go where there is access, so we agree the sections to inspect before we start.
- Drainage plans shared if you have them
- Access points cleared of vehicles or stock
- Sections and purpose agreed up front
- Covers replaced and the area cleaned
- Findings walked through with your contact

Facilities FAQs
Camera inspection questions from property teams
Does the inspection include clearing or repairs?
No. The inspection shows the condition of the pipe. Clearing beforehand and repairs afterwards are quoted separately.
Will you see every pipe?
Only the sections we can reach from accessible inspection points. If a section can't be reached, we tell you, so you know exactly what has been checked.
Can we share the findings with the landlord?
Yes. The photos sit on our live electronic job card system, so you can show the owner, landlord or trustees what we found.
Is it worth doing before a fit-out?
If the new layout relies on existing drains, an inspection before you build shows whether they are in good enough condition to use.
