Expert Cctv Drain Surveys In Thatcham, West Berkshire

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
