CCTV Drain Surveys in Whitchurch
Camera surveys of drains and private sewers with a recorded video and written report, for repeat blockages, home purchases and pre-works checks. Serving Whitchurch and the surrounding villages, including Prees, Tilstock, Whixall, Ash.
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.
North Shropshire’s dispersed dairy farms and roadside cottages are overwhelmingly off-mains. Around Whitchurch that includes properties on the mosses, where deep peat and high water tables made drainage difficult in every era, and plenty of mid-century tanks that have quietly outlived their design life.
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. We can do both in one visit.
Will the report be accepted by my solicitor or lender?
Yes. Our reports are written surveys with recorded evidence, suitable for conveyancing, insurance claims and negotiations, and we are happy for them to be shared with the other side’s professionals.
