CCTV Drain Surveys in Ludlow
Camera surveys of drains and private sewers with a recorded video and written report, for repeat blockages, home purchases and pre-works checks. Serving Ludlow and the surrounding villages, including Bromfield, Caynham, Ashford Carbonel, Clee Hill.
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.
Outside Ludlow itself, off-mains is simply how south Shropshire works. The Corvedale, the Clee slopes and the Teme valley are dotted with properties on private systems, many of them older installations that predate modern standards, and a good number still arranged in ways the 2020 rules no longer allow.
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.
