CCTV Drain Surveys In Nottingham & The East Midlands

See Inside Your Drains Without Digging

A CCTV drain survey sends a waterproof camera through your pipes to show exactly what is wrong — cracks, displaced joints, root ingress, collapses or blockages — without digging. We provide written reports with video footage, defect coding and clear recommendations for homeowners, buyers, landlords, insurers and businesses across the East Midlands.

Why have a CCTV drain survey?

Drain problems are hidden underground, so guessing is expensive. A camera survey shows the condition of every run, the direction of flow, pipe materials and the exact location and depth of any defect, so repairs can be targeted and quoted accurately.

Surveys are commonly used for recurring blockages, suspected leaks or subsidence, insurance claims, extensions near drains (build-over), and before buying a property.

  • Recurring blockages or smells
  • Suspected cracked or collapsed pipes
  • Insurance claims and leak investigations
  • Build-over and extension planning
  • Pre-purchase checks on a new home

What's in our survey report?

Our reports include a plan of the drainage runs, recorded video, still images of each defect, observations coded to the industry's WRc (MSCC) standard, and plain-English recommendations with the options for repair.

Frequently Asked Questions

Most domestic surveys take one to two hours on site, depending on the number of runs and access. Larger or commercial surveys take longer; we'll give you a timescale when you book.

Yes. You receive a written report with images and recommendations, and the recorded footage is available on request.

Many buildings policies cover accidental damage to drains. Insurers typically ask for a CCTV survey report that shows the defect and its cause, which is exactly what our reports provide. Check your policy wording first.

No. The camera goes in through existing access points such as manholes, inspection chambers and gullies, so there is no excavation.
