CCTV drain surveys, with footage you can keep
We put a camera through your drains, record every length and send you a written report that explains what we found in plain English.
4.9 from 83 Google reviews (opens in a new tab)
A survey shows cracks, displaced joints, root ingress and collapses that you cannot see from the surface. We code the footage to the industry standard for drain condition, mark each defect on a simple plan of the drains and say which ones need attention and which can wait.
Buyers use our surveys before exchanging contracts, and insurers ask for them on subsidence and leak claims. The report also tells you which lengths are yours and which belong to the water company, so you do not pay for repairs that are not your responsibility.
What's included
Each defect graded and marked on a plan of the drains.
Sent to you by link, so your surveyor or insurer can watch it.
We show which lengths are private and which belong to the water company.

A pre-purchase survey that found a root-blocked pipe
A buyer asked us to survey a 1930s semi before exchange. Karim found roots through two joints under the front garden. The seller agreed to the cost of a liner, which we fitted the week after completion.

Should I get a drain survey before buying a house?
If the house is more than about thirty years old, has large trees nearby or the homebuyer report mentions drainage, yes. A survey costs far less than a collapsed drain under a new extension.
Will my insurer accept your report?
Our reports are coded to the standard insurers and loss adjusters expect, and include the footage.
