Reasons You Might Require a CCTV Drain Survey

There are many scenarios where a CCTV drain inspection can be invaluable. Here are some common reasons to consider a survey:

  • Collapsed Drains
  • Blockages
  • Leaking Pipes
  • Root Ingress
  • Buying a House
  • Drainage Ownership Disputes
  • Leaks & Corrosion
  • Displaced Joints
  • Poor Installation
  • Rats in Drains
  • Scale Build-up
  • Slow Drainage & Strange Smells

In addition to serving as a reactive means of dealing with blockages and other common problems, CCTV surveys are a proactive measure to ensure your drainage system remains in optimal condition. Regular inspections can prevent minor issues from escalating into costly repairs. For example, early detection of root ingress can avoid significant structural damage to your pipes. Similarly, identifying scale build-up early can improve water flow and reduce the risk of complete blockages.

For businesses, a CCTV drain inspection can be vital in maintaining compliance with health and safety regulations. Blocked or leaking drains can pose serious risks, including contamination or unpleasant odours that may disrupt operations. Whether you’re working from an office suite or managing a property in the hospitality sector, keeping your drainage system in excellent condition is essential for a smooth-running business.
