A drain that keeps blocking usually has more going on than a simple build-up of waste.
Cracked pipes, displaced joints and root growth can all cause the same problem to return. Our CCTV drain surveys in Herne Bay let us inspect the pipework internally, identify the cause and recommend a suitable solution.
We guide a specialist camera through the drainage system to check its internal condition. This can reveal cracks, collapsed pipes, scale, tree-root intrusion, displaced joints and obstructions that can’t be identified from the surface.
Underground drainage is rarely examined during a standard property survey. A homebuyer drain survey can uncover hidden faults before you exchange contracts, giving you a clearer idea of any cleaning, maintenance or repair work that may be required.
We provide drain surveys for shops, offices, hospitality venues, landlords, managing agents and other commercial customers. An inspection can help investigate a current issue or support an ongoing maintenance plan.
If drainage plans are unavailable, we can help establish where accessible pipes run and how different sections connect. We can also pinpoint the likely position of defects, which is particularly useful before an extension or targeted repair.
Our engineer begins by locating a suitable inspection chamber or access point. The camera is then fed carefully through the drain while the footage is viewed in real time.
We look at more than obvious breaks and blockages. Standing water, repeated deposits and changes in the pipe’s angle can all help explain why a drain is slow or keeps causing trouble.
The service is suitable for homeowners, property buyers, landlords, businesses and building contractors. It may be needed after repeated blockages, before purchasing an older home or when planning work near existing drainage.
If grease, silt or waste is obscuring the inside of the pipe, we may recommend cleaning it first. We’ll explain why this is necessary and confirm the price before completing any additional work.
We have 20 years of experience working with domestic and commercial drainage systems. That practical knowledge helps us recognise what the camera footage is showing and distinguish between a minor issue and a defect that needs attention.
With Any Drains Direct, you receive:
Herne Bay includes Victorian and Edwardian homes, bungalows, converted properties and modern estates. Around older parts of the town, drainage layouts may have changed as buildings were extended or divided. We take those details into account when deciding how best to inspect the system.
We’ll ask why the survey is required and whether you’ve noticed blockages, smells, slow drainage or other warning signs.
Our engineer will locate an appropriate chamber and make sure the pipe is clear enough for the camera to pass through.
We’ll guide the camera along the drain and check for damage, restrictions, poor connections and signs of recurring build-up.
We’ll explain what we’ve seen and what it means. If cleaning or repair work is recommended, you’ll understand why before making a decision.

It can identify cracked or collapsed pipes, displaced joints, root growth, scale, trapped debris and sections where water is collecting.
It can be particularly worthwhile for an older property, a home with mature trees nearby or anywhere with a history of drainage issues. These faults may not be covered in a normal property survey.
The cost depends on the length of the drainage run, ease of access and whether cleaning is required beforehand. We provide clear pricing without hidden charges.
We may be able to inspect up to the obstruction. If the pipe is completely blocked, it will usually need clearing before we can survey the rest of the system.
