When drains start to misbehave, finding the root of the problem can be tricky. That’s where a CCTV drain survey comes in, a modern, accurate, and cost-effective way to inspect your drainage system without any digging or disruption.
At West Wales Waste, we use the latest CCTV technology to look deep inside your drains and identify exactly what’s going on. Whether you’re dealing with repeated blockages or planning to buy a new property, a drain survey can save you time, stress, and money in the long run.
What Is a CCTV Drain Survey?
A CCTV drain survey uses a small, high-definition camera attached to a flexible cable, which is carefully guided through your drainage system.
The live video footage allows our engineers to see inside your pipes and pinpoint issues such as:
- Cracks or fractures
- Collapsed sections
- Tree root intrusions
- Blockages or build-up
- Displaced joints or structural defects
Once the inspection is complete, you’ll receive a detailed report with images and footage of your drainage system, along with clear recommendations on how to fix any problems.
When Should You Have a Drain Survey?
There are several situations where a CCTV drain inspection is particularly useful:
- Persistent Blockages
If your drains keep blocking, even after professional unblocking, a CCTV survey can identify underlying causes that can’t be seen from the surface. - Before Buying a Property
A pre-purchase drain survey can reveal hidden issues before you buy, helping you avoid unexpected repair costs later on. - After Drain Repairs or Installations
Checking the condition of the system after work ensures everything has been completed properly and prevents future issues. - Flooding or Slow Drainage
If water is taking longer than usual to drain away, there may be damage, silt build-up, or intrusion that a survey can uncover.
The Benefits of a CCTV Drain Survey
- Non-invasive: No need for digging or disruption.
- Accurate: Pinpoints the exact issue and location.
- Cost-effective: Prevents unnecessary works and ongoing call-outs.
- Transparent: You’ll see the same footage we do, so you know exactly what’s happening below ground.
