Who We Are

When Do You Need a Drain Camera Inspection?

There are several key situations where a CCTV drain survey becomes invaluable. If you're experiencing frequent blockages that don't respond to simple unblocking methods, a survey can identify the underlying cause, whether it's structural damage or a build-up. Planning an extension or building work? A pre-build-over survey can assess the condition of existing drains under the proposed new structure, preventing costly issues later. Buying a new home in Dundee or Perth? A pre-purchase drain survey provides crucial insights into the property's drainage health, protecting your investment and preventing nasty surprises. It’s also vital for identifying the exact location of a persistent smell or water leak.

Pinpointing the Real Cause of Your Drain Problems

A CCTV drain survey is incredibly effective at identifying a wide range of common and complex drainage problems. We can quickly spot signs of:

  • Root ingress: Tree roots can invade and block pipes, causing significant damage.
  • Cracks and fractures: Damage from ground movement, heavy loads, or age.
  • Collapsed pipes: A serious issue that completely blocks flow.
  • Dislodged or misaligned joints: Leading to leaks and blockages.
  • Fatbergs and heavy scale build-up: Common causes of blockages, particularly in kitchen drains.
  • Incorrect pipe gradients: Leading to poor flow and repeat blockages.
  • Foreign objects: Anything from toys to building debris that shouldn't be in the system.
    Knowing the exact cause means we can provide the correct solution, first time.
FAQ

Frequently Asked Cctv Drain Surveys Questions

Answers to common questions about our Cctv Drain Surveys

Why Guess When You Can See the Problem First-Hand?

A CCTV drain survey is exactly what it sounds like – a camera inspection for your pipes. Our experienced engineers use state-of-the-art, flexible camera systems that can navigate the twists and turns of your drains, sending back a live video feed. This allows us to pinpoint the precise location and nature of any issue without any disruptive digging. We can identify blockages, cracks, collapsed sections, tree root ingress, and poor pipe connections with incredible accuracy. Getting a clear picture of the problem is the first and most important step toward a lasting solution.

When Is a CCTV Drain Survey the Right Call?

Many situations call for a closer look at your drainage system. It's a vital service for both domestic and commercial properties across Perth, Angus, and Fife when you are:

  • Facing Recurring Blockages: If you’re constantly paying for unblocking services, a survey will find the underlying cause, saving you money and hassle in the long run.
  • Buying a New Home: A homebuyer drain survey is one of the smartest investments you can make. It can uncover hidden problems that could cost thousands to repair later, giving you negotiating power and total peace of mind.
  • Planning an Extension: Building over or near a public sewer? You'll likely need a build-over survey to satisfy your local water authority. We can provide the detailed reports you need for your application.
  • Investigating Bad Smells or Damp: When you can't find the source of a foul odour or damp patch, the problem is often a cracked or broken drain pipe. A survey is the fastest way to confirm this.
  • Dealing with an Older Property: For older homes, a survey provides a valuable health check on the drainage system, helping you to proactively manage any necessary repairs before they become an emergency.

What problems can a CCTV drain survey identify?

A survey is incredibly effective at finding a wide range of issues. The most common problems we identify are stubborn blockages caused by fat and grease, collapsed or fractured pipes, serious cracks, intruding tree roots (root ingress), displaced joints where pipes have moved apart, and evidence of rodent infestations. This allows for targeted drain repairs, rather than guesswork.

I’ve had my drain unblocked but the problem keeps coming back. Can a survey help?

Absolutely. This is one of the most common reasons customers call us for a survey. A recurring blockage is almost always a symptom of a bigger problem, like a partial collapse or a build-up of roots. Standard unblocking might clear the immediate blockage, but a survey will find the root cause so we can recommend a permanent repair, saving you from endless callout fees.

Will you have to dig up my garden or driveway?

No, in almost all cases a survey is a "no-dig" service. We access the drainage system through existing inspection chambers or manholes. The whole point of the survey is to avoid disruptive and expensive digging unless it is absolutely necessary for a repair. If a repair is needed, we specialise in no-dig repair techniques like patch lining wherever possible.

How long does a drain survey take?

The time it takes depends on the size and complexity of the drainage system we need to check. For a typical family home in Perth or Dundee, a survey might take a couple of hours. We will always give you a clear idea of the timescale when you book our service.

Do I need a drain survey when buying a house?

While not legally required, it is highly recommended. A standard property surveyor looks at the building, not what’s underground. A CCTV drain survey can uncover hidden issues with the drainage system that could cost thousands to fix. Knowing this before you complete the purchase gives you incredible peace of mind and could even help you negotiate on the price.
