    Accurate Drainage Diagnosis

    See the Problem Before Deciding How to Fix It.

    A CCTV drain survey is one of the most effective ways to diagnose drainage problems that cannot be seen from the surface.

    Many blocked drains can be cleared using mechanical methods or high-pressure drain jetting. However, when a blockage keeps returning, there may be a deeper cause such as damaged pipework, tree root ingress, displaced joints or a partial collapse.

    Our engineers use specialist CCTV equipment to inspect the internal condition of your drainage system and pinpoint faults without unnecessary excavation.

    Once the cause has been identified, we can advise whether the next step is simply clearance and maintenance or a more permanent solution such as drain repair or drain relining.

    What Can a CCTV Survey Find?

    Hidden Problems Become Visible.

    Not all drainage faults produce obvious symptoms at ground level. A camera survey allows us to inspect pipework internally and see exactly what is happening.

    Surveys can identify blockages, cracks, fractures, displaced joints, scale build-up, poor connections, root ingress and collapsed sections of pipe.

    Where roots have entered through defects in the system, our drain root removal service can clear the intrusion before the damaged pipework is assessed for repair.

    The result is a much more informed decision about what work is actually needed rather than relying on guesswork or unnecessary excavation.

    Inside the Drainage System

    Professional CCTV Equipment Gives Us the Evidence We Need.

    Our engineers feed specialist camera equipment through the drainage system while viewing the pipework in real time.

    The inspection allows defects and obstructions to be located accurately, recorded and included within a clear drainage report where required.

    That evidence can then support maintenance planning, repair decisions, insurance discussions or property-purchase due diligence.

    Why Have a CCTV Drain Survey?

    Accurate Diagnosis Without Unnecessary Excavation.

    01 / Diagnose

    Fast Fault Finding

    Locate drainage problems quickly and identify their underlying cause.

    02 / Inspect

    No Guesswork

    See the actual condition of underground pipework before deciding what work is required.

    03 / Report

    Clear Evidence

    Recorded surveys and detailed reporting help make repair and maintenance decisions clearer.

    04 / Plan

    Targeted Repairs

    Use the survey findings to plan maintenance, relining or structural repair only where it is actually needed.

    CCTV Survey in Practice

    See How Professional Drain Inspection Works.

    CCTV inspection gives our engineers a live view inside the drainage system, allowing faults to be located without digging up pipework simply to find out what is wrong.

    The footage can help establish the location and extent of defects before any remedial work begins.

    For recurring drainage problems, this can be the difference between repeatedly treating the symptom and permanently addressing the underlying cause.

    Homebuyer CCTV Surveys

    Know What’s Underground Before You Buy.

    A standard property survey does not normally provide a detailed inspection of underground drainage, yet damaged pipework can result in significant unexpected costs after completion.

    KD Drainage provides dedicated homebuyer CCTV surveys for residential property purchases across Kent and London.

    Our engineers can assess the drainage system and produce a professional report identifying any defects that may need attention.

    You can read more about the dedicated service on our Home Buyers Drainage Surveys page.

    Useful Before Exchange

    A survey can reveal defects that would otherwise remain hidden.

    ✓ Cracked or fractured pipes

    ✓ Displaced joints

    ✓ Root ingress

    ✓ Collapsed sections

    ✓ Poor connections

    ✓ Existing blockages or restrictions

    As a longstanding Chartered Surveyor, Chartered Building Engineer and former Building Inspector, I would state that this company were the most impressive in all respects relative to the investigation, conclusion, and swift rectification of the failed system at my home. The chaps that attended were extremely professional and unusually very competent in their duties from start to completion. I would recommend them wholeheartedly on projects ongoing.
