CCTV drain inspection to locate cracks, collapses, and root ingress.
* Estimates only, not a quote — typical figures from recent jobs. Your engineer confirms the exact price before any work starts.
A CCTV drain survey is the only way to know what's actually happening in your drains — cracked pipes, root ingress, collapsed sections or simply years of scale. Buyers, sellers, insurers and landlords all rely on them, and so should you before expensive work.
We match surveyors with the cameras and the report-writing experience — written findings, video and honest recommendations.
Camera run: a waterproof camera travels the full drain run, recording everything.
Analysis: pipe condition, cracks, roots, falls and blockages assessed.
Report: written findings with photos/video and recommendations.
Advice: repair vs. patch vs. reline, with honest priorities.
A £200 survey can prevent a £5,000 drainage repair two months into ownership.
Don't plant trees close to drain runs — and if roots are found, plan the reline before the collapse.
Extensions over old drains need to know their condition — and building control may ask.
Survey reports are valuable for insurance and future work — file them with the property documents.
As a landlord you must keep the property's water, heating, sanitary and drainage systems in good working order and fix them promptly when they fail. You're responsible for structural repairs, the boiler and heating system, plumbing and electrics. Tenants should report faults in writing — and you should respond fast, because a small leak left unattended becomes a big claim.
The official bodies that can help, report to, or check on — free and independent.
Report leaks on public pipes, water pressure problems, and sewer flooding to your local water company — most have free 24/7 leak lines. Find yours by postcode on the water.org.uk website.
For septic tanks, private drainage and water pollution incidents — call the 24/7 incident hotline if sewage or oil is entering a watercourse.
Free, independent advice on landlord disputes, repair rights and consumer issues.
