What is a CCTV Drain Survey?
A CCTV drain survey is a detailed inspection of your drainage system using a small, high-definition camera.

Why should I get a drain survey?
A drain survey helps to find the cause of recurring drainage problems, such as slow drains, bad smells or repeated blockages. It also helps detect hidden damage before it becomes a costly issue, saving time and money in the long run.
Should I get a Home Buyers Survey?
A house purchase is the biggest purchase you will make. You will get a Survey done to check the property and in that survey they will look in drainage inspection chambers, they don’t check the drainage pipes. A Home Buyers Survey will tell all you need to know about the drainage system of the property and by finding issues, can avoid you needing expensive repairs once your in the property.

Do I need to prepare anything before the survey?
