CCTV with Full Report

Because drains are largely hidden from view, the exact cause and nature of the problem may not be immediately apparent.

With the passage of time and usage, drains and sewers can deteriorate. It may take several years, but drains can suffer as a result of many factors such as ground movement, poor construction, tree root invasion etc. The CCTV survey is specifically designed to investigate a drain’s condition for the following reasons:

Sometimes, nothing less than a visual assessment of a problem will meet the need. In such cases, CCTV provides the full picture. CCTV surveys of drains, pipes, and sewers provide an accurate and cost effective way to detect problems to the source and help establish the most practical remedial options.

The CCTV Surveying Process

A CCTV Survey can be carried out with the minimum of fuss and disruption. The process is as follows:

The CCTV camera is introduced into the drain via the appropriate access point and pushed or powered through the pipe.

As the camera travels along the pipe, the image is relayed to a monitor screen above ground. The operator will then log any structural defects and record the location of each along the pipe length.

The survey report is then provided which lists the type and location of any defect. This can be backed up with photographs, video or CD/DVD evidence together with a site plan showing the drain’s location.

Rectifying structurally defective drains can be expensive so, if buying a property, it is recommended that a CCTV inspection is conducted to establish their condition as part of a prepurchase survey.
