A CCTV survey puts a camera through your drains and takes the guesswork out of what is happening underground. Instead of paying to clear the same blockage twice a year, you see the displaced joint, the root mass or the collapsed section causing it, exactly where it is and how bad it is.

Off-mains properties cluster on the gorge slopes and across the farmland south of town, from cottages below Benthall Edge to farms towards Willey. Many gorge-side systems are as old as the houses they serve, squeezed into plots that were never designed with a tanker in mind.

Surveys have become a standard part of buying a house, and for rural properties they pair naturally with a septic system inspection. Drainage faults are invisible at a viewing, can cost thousands, and are entirely findable with a camera before you exchange. A pre-purchase survey is cheap insurance on any property, and near essential on an older one.

CCTV Drain Surveys: common questions

How long does a CCTV survey take?

A typical domestic survey takes one to two hours on site. The written report and footage follow shortly afterwards.

Do the drains need to be cleared first?

A camera cannot see through a blockage, so a blocked or heavily silted line is jetted clean first. Both are normally done in the same visit.

Will the report be accepted by my solicitor or lender?

Generally yes. A proper CCTV survey report is a written survey backed by recorded footage, which is what conveyancers, insurers and lenders want to see, and there should be no objection to sharing it with the other side’s professionals.
