Whether you're facing ongoing drainage problems, or need an inspection before purchasing a property in Devon or Cornwall, our CCTV surveys offer one of the best solutions.

 

What Is a CCTV Drain Survey?

 

A CCTV drain survey involves inserting a specialist waterproof camera into your drainage system. The camera sends live footage to our engineers, who analyse the condition of your pipes in real time. 

 

We record everything and provide you with a full written report, including images or a video, identifying any problems and offering professional advice on the next steps.

 

Our CCTV surveys can be used to uncover a wide range of issues, including:

 

• Tree roots intruding on pipes

• Cracked or collapsed pipes

• Displaced joints

• Leaks and blockages

• General wear-and-tear

• Poor installations or previous repair work

 

Our equipment is designed to be used on both domestic and commercial drainage systems, from small household drains to larger underground sewers.

 

When Should You Book a CCTV Drain Survey?

 

CCTV drain inspections aren’t just useful for when things go wrong; they can also prevent issues arising in the first place. Here are five common situations where a CCTV survey is recommended:

 

1. Persistent or unexplained blockages. If your drains are regularly clogging, we’ll find out why.

2. Buying a property. We can prevent any costly surprises by checking the condition of the drainage system before purchase.

3. Pre- and post-build surveys.  ACS Draining Solutions can ensure your drainage system is compliant and damage-free after building work.

4. Insurance claims. Get clear evidence to support a drainage-related claim.

5. Property extensions. We can identify existing drain routes before building.

 

We tailor every survey to your specific needs, whether it's a quick check-up or a comprehensive condition report.

Benefits of a CCTV Drain Survey

 

CCTV surveys are the most effective way to assess your drains. Benefits include highly accurate diagnostics, with our engineers able to pinpoint the precise location and cause of the problem. 

 

There will be no need to dig up your garden, driveway or any part of your property. This technique is also cost-effective. Since it can point out minor issues early on, you won’t have to worry about expensive repairs further down the line. 

 

Most surveys are completed within an hour, with reports delivered promptly.
