Recurring blockages, unpleasant smells and slow-running drains often point to a problem deeper inside the system.
Our CCTV drain surveys in Gravesend let us see the pipework clearly, locate hidden faults and recommend the right next step. It’s a practical way to investigate your drains without digging up the property unnecessarily.
We use specialist camera equipment to inspect underground drains from the inside. This can reveal cracks, displaced joints, tree-root intrusion, scale, trapped waste and collapsed sections that aren’t visible from ground level.
A normal property survey may not include the underground drainage system. Our homebuyer drain surveys can identify existing defects before contracts are exchanged, helping buyers understand whether cleaning, maintenance or repairs are likely to be needed.
We inspect drainage systems for shops, offices, industrial units, landlords and managing agents. Commercial surveys are useful for investigating repeated problems, assessing drainage condition and planning preventative maintenance.
Drainage plans can be missing or inaccurate, especially where a property has been extended. We can trace accessible drainage runs, identify connections and narrow down the position of damaged pipework or other hidden faults.
A CCTV survey gives us a direct view of what’s happening below ground. The camera is inserted through a suitable chamber or access point and carefully guided along the drain while our engineer monitors the footage.
We look for structural damage, obstructions and changes in the pipe’s alignment. Deposits repeatedly collecting in one area, for instance, may be caused by a damaged joint or a section of pipe that no longer has the correct fall.
Our surveys are suitable for homeowners, landlords, prospective buyers, businesses and building contractors. They can be arranged to investigate an existing drainage problem, check the system before a property purchase or locate drains ahead of an extension.
If the pipe is completely blocked or heavily coated with deposits, cleaning may be required before the inspection. We’ll explain this and confirm the cost before completing any additional work.
We have 20 years of hands-on drainage experience. That matters because good camera footage still needs to be interpreted correctly. We’ll show you what we’ve found, explain whether it requires attention and suggest a proportionate solution.
Our customers benefit from:
Gravesend has a varied mix of Victorian terraces, converted buildings, commercial premises and newer developments. Shared drainage runs and access points covered by later extensions are not uncommon, so we assess each property’s layout individually.
We’ll ask why you need the survey, which drains are affected and whether the system has previously been blocked, cleaned or repaired.
Our engineer will identify a suitable inspection chamber and check that the camera can travel safely through the pipework.
The camera is guided along the drainage run while we look for obstructions, damage, poor joints and areas of restricted flow.
We’ll discuss what the survey has shown and outline any recommended action. Depending on the findings, this may involve cleaning, monitoring or a targeted drain repair.
We carry out drainage surveys across central Gravesend, Northfleet, Perry Street, Singlewell, Riverview Park and Chalk.
Our engineers also attend properties in Istead Rise, Shorne, Higham and Meopham, covering residential, commercial and rural drainage systems.
It can identify cracks, root intrusion, collapsed pipes, displaced joints, blockages, scale and sections where water or waste is collecting.
It isn’t compulsory, but it can reveal expensive problems that may not be included in a standard homebuyer survey. It’s particularly useful for older properties or homes with a history of blocked drains.
The CCTV drain survey cost depends on the length of pipework, access and whether cleaning is required first. We’ll provide clear pricing with no hidden fees.
A complete blockage will usually need to be cleared before the camera can inspect the full drainage run. We can arrange professional drain cleaning where needed.
No. We normally enter the system through an existing inspection chamber or another suitable access point, so excavation isn’t required for the survey itself.
Yes. We work with businesses, landlords and property managers throughout Gravesend and the wider Kent area.
