CCTV Drain Surveys

Using state of the art equipment, CCTV surveys allows us to explore your entire drainage system. CCTV is far more affordable and less disruptive than digging, and is used for a multitude of reasons:

• Identify and locate blockages and leaks
• Identify defects within pipes
• Identify potential collapses or major issues
• It assists with repair planning, creating a bigger picture of the issue at hand
• Can be used for mapping the drainage system within a given location
• Check the condition of pipes prior to building work/ground works/house extensions etc.
• Allows us to identify problems early, before worst case scenario becomes reality.

As well as identifying problems, CCTV can also provide piece of mind with relation to ruling out major issues and also passing surveys prior to purchasing your new home. There is nothing worse than buying a property and inheriting £000’s worth of repairs you could have identified before completing your purchase!. Crucially, CCTV allows us, at Fylde Blockages, to compile a report of recommendations for next steps, leading to a much more efficient way of resolving drainage problems or flagging potential issues.

Identify small issues before they develop into more significant problems with a CCTV drain survey. Bad smells, blocked sinks or flooded appliances are all signs that things aren’t as they should be with a drainage system. A drain survey is the most effective way to quickly identify an issue.

Ahead of buying a property, it’s wise to conduct a pre-purchase CCTV survey of the drainage system. Often overlooked, a drain survey of a property will uncover any existing issues invisible above ground. Equally, sellers undertake drain surveys to ensure a smooth sale. A RICS homebuyer survey does not assess the state of the drains at a property, meaning critical drainage problems may be miss.

Pre-build CCTV surveys are a must ahead of any building work. If you are planning an extension or plotting a new build, the water authority will insist a pre-build CCTV drainage survey is carried out if the work is to be undertaken over or near their pipework.
