What is a CCTV Drain Survey and Why Bordon Needs One?

Think of it like a doctor’s endoscopy for your pipes! We send a tiny, waterproof camera right into your drainage system. This camera captures live video footage, showing us the exact condition of your pipes. For properties in Bordon, this means we can quickly pinpoint issues like cracks, root intrusion, blockages, collapsed sections, or even poor installation from years ago. It’s far more effective than just guessing and saves you a lot of hassle and potential expense down the line.

No More Guessing: Pinpointing Problems in Your Bordon Drains

Tired of temporary fixes for your Bordon drainage issues? A CCTV survey is the definitive way to get to the bottom of things. Whether it's persistent bad odours, frequent overflowing, or gurgling sounds from your pipes, our cameras reveal the precise cause. We can identify tree roots pushing through joints, displaced pipe sections, or heavy fat, oil, and grease build-ups that are causing blockages and slowing things down. Once we see it, we can properly advise on the best fix.

Buying a Home in Bordon? Don't Skip a Pre-Purchase Drain Survey

When you’re looking to buy a property in Bordon, you inspect the roof, the walls, and the electrics – but what about the drains? A pre-purchase CCTV drain survey is an absolute must. It uncovers any hidden drainage problems that could cost you a fortune after you’ve moved in. Imagine finding out about a collapsed sewer pipe or extensive root damage months after getting the keys. Our detailed survey report gives you a clear understanding of the drainage system’s health, helping you negotiate or decide with confidence.

How Our Expert Engineers Conduct Your Bordon Drain Inspection

When you call A1 UK Drains for your Bordon CCTV survey, our experienced engineers arrive with all the right kit. We insert a flexible rod with a high-resolution camera attached into your drain access point. As the camera travels through the pipes, we watch the live footage on a monitor, carefully noting any defects or issues. We record everything and then compile a comprehensive report for you, complete with findings and our recommendations for any necessary repairs. It’s a transparent, efficient process designed to give you clarity.

Beyond the Blockage: What We Discover Underground in Bordon

Our camera surveys often uncover much more than just simple blockages. In Bordon, like many established areas, we frequently find issues such as:

  • Root Ingress: Tree and shrub roots pushing into pipe joints, causing cracks and blockages.
  • Cracked or Fractured Pipes: Damage from ground movement, heavy loads, or age.
  • Collapsed Drains: Significant structural failure needing immediate attention.
  • Displaced Joints: Pipes that have come apart, allowing debris to collect.
  • Fat, Oil & Grease (FOG) Build-ups: Accumulation leading to stubborn blockages.
  • Pitch Fibre Pipe Deformities: Older pipes that have started to delaminate or deform.
    Understanding these issues is the first step towards a lasting solution.

FAQ

CCTV Drain Survey Questions

Find answers to common questions about our professional CCTV drain surveys in Wokingham.

Why Are My Drains Always Blocking? A Camera Can Tell You Why!

+

If you're fed up with constantly clearing the same blocked drain or dealing with strange smells, it's incredibly frustrating. A CCTV drain survey is the best way to get to the bottom of these nagging issues. Instead of guessing, we use specialist camera equipment to look right inside your pipes, spotting exactly what's causing the problem. It could be anything from tree roots growing into cracks, a build-up of grease, or even a collapsed pipe section. Once we see it, we can properly fix it.

What Happens During a CCTV Drain Inspection?

+

When we come to carry out a CCTV drain survey, our experienced engineers feed a small, waterproof camera into your drain system. This camera sends back a live video feed to a monitor, allowing us to see every inch of your pipes in real-time. We can navigate around bends and through different sections, recording the whole process. It's a bit like a doctor using an endoscope, but for your drains! You get to understand what's going on without any messy digging.

What Problems Can a Drain Camera Spot in My Pipes?

+

A thorough drain camera survey can uncover all sorts of hidden issues that you'd never see from above ground. We regularly find things like cracks, fractures, or even completely collapsed sections of pipework. Tree roots are a common culprit, pushing their way into joints and causing blockages. We also spot misaligned pipes, built-up scale or fat, and even items that shouldn't be in the drains at all. Knowing the exact problem means we can offer the right solution, saving you time and money.

Is a CCTV Drain Survey Messy or Disruptive to My Home?

+

Absolutely not! One of the biggest advantages of a CCTV drain survey is that it's a completely 'no-dig' solution. We only need access to a manhole or an existing access point in your drainage system. Our camera equipment is compact, and the whole process is clean, quiet, and doesn't disturb your home or garden. We do all the work from the surface, so you won't have to worry about any mess.

Considering a New Home? Why a Pre-Purchase Drain Survey is Essential

+

Buying a new home is a huge investment, and the last thing you want is a nasty surprise after you've moved in. A pre-purchase CCTV drain survey gives you total peace of mind. We'll check the condition of the entire drainage system, spotting any hidden defects like cracks, blockages, or pitch fibre issues that could lead to expensive repairs down the line. It's a small upfront cost that can save you thousands and help you make an informed decision about your new property.

What Happens After Our Drainage Camera Inspection?

+

Once we've completed the CCTV drain survey, you'll receive a detailed report. This report includes a full explanation of our findings, complete with high-quality video footage and still images of any problem areas. We'll clearly highlight any issues we've found and, crucially, provide clear, actionable recommendations for any necessary repairs. If repairs are needed, we'll give you a transparent, no-obligation quote for the work, whether it's a simple clean or a more complex repair using 'no-dig' relining.

Do Insurance Companies or Councils Need a Drain Survey?

+

Yes, often they do! If you're making an insurance claim for drain damage, your insurer will almost certainly ask for a professional CCTV drain survey report. This report provides the hard evidence they need to process your claim. Similarly, if you're planning to build over or near a public sewer, the local water authority will require a drain survey to check the sewer's condition both before and after your building work. We provide industry-standard reports that are perfect for these situations.
