CCTV Drain Surveys

What Is A CCTV Drain Survey?

A drain CCTV survey uses a small, remotely operated robot–like vehicle attached to a heavy–duty cable, guided down your drains and pipes. Fitted with powerful lights to illuminate the system, it transmits high–quality video back to professional digital recording equipment via the cable.

Why Might I Need A CCTV Drain survey?

A professional drainage survey confirms that all of a Sheffield property's drains and sewers are completely free from blockages and in good condition. If damage is found, its exact location is recorded to the millimetre – enabling targeted repairs that avoid costly excavation, and perfectly guiding any required jetting work.

Drain Surveys

Home Buyers CCTV Drainage Survey

Many mortgage lenders require a drainage survey to confirm that a property's drains and sewers are in good condition before releasing funds. Our homebuyer survey is made specifically for this purpose, providing video footage showing precise distances to the millimetre plus a full written report.

Your local Sheffield water authority will not take responsibility for shared drainage systems until a drainage survey has been completed and a Section 104 agreement has been issued. These steps confirm that the pipes are in good condition and free from blockages before the authority accepts liability and ongoing maintenance.
