A drain that smells, runs slowly or blocks again after cleaning may have a fault hidden below ground.
Our CCTV drain surveys in Faversham allow us to inspect the inside of the pipework and see what’s really causing the problem. This gives you a clear diagnosis without disruptive exploratory digging.
From recurring blockages to pre-purchase inspections, our CCTV surveys help identify drainage problems without unnecessary excavation.
We guide a specialist camera through the drainage system to examine the pipes and joints. The footage can reveal cracks, tree-root intrusion, collapsed sections, scale, trapped waste and joints that have moved out of position.
Underground drains are rarely inspected as part of a standard property survey. A homebuyer drain survey can identify existing defects before contracts are exchanged, helping you understand whether cleaning, maintenance or repair work could be needed.
We inspect drains serving shops, offices, hospitality premises, landlords and managed properties. Commercial surveys can investigate recurring issues, support preventative maintenance or record the system’s condition ahead of refurbishment.
Older drainage plans may be missing or no longer accurate, particularly after a property has been extended. We can trace accessible pipe runs, identify connections and pinpoint the likely position of an underground fault.
Our engineer will first locate a suitable inspection chamber or drainage access point. A flexible camera is then passed through the pipe while the footage is viewed in real time.
We check the general condition of the drainage run as well as looking for the immediate cause of the problem. Standing water may indicate a dip in the pipe, while waste repeatedly gathering around one joint can explain why a blockage keeps returning.
CCTV inspections are useful for homeowners, property buyers, landlords, businesses and building contractors. You may need one to investigate ongoing drainage trouble, check the drains before buying a home or find existing pipework before an extension.
The pipe needs to be reasonably clear for the camera to capture useful images. If a blockage or heavy build-up prevents access, we may advise cleaning the drain first. We’ll explain the reason and price before carrying out additional work.
We have 20 years of hands-on drainage experience. This means we can interpret what appears on the camera and give you practical advice rather than leaving you with footage you don’t understand.
