What is it?
A CCTV drain survey Reading is a detailed inspection of your drainage system, using state-of-the-art camera technology to visually assess the condition of your pipes. This non-invasive method identifies blockages, damage, and wear within the drainage system, providing clear, real-time images and video footage. The survey can uncover issues such as cracks, root ingress, and collapsed pipes, offering a comprehensive understanding of the system’s state without the need for excavation. This precise diagnostic tool allows for targeted repairs, saving you time and money. Additionally, documented findings from the survey can be invaluable for insurance claims or property transactions, ensuring transparency and informed decision-making.
Is CCTV Drain Survey Necessary?
Yes, a CCTV drain survey is often necessary in maintaining, diagnosing, and planning repairs for your drainage system. It’s particularly recommended before purchasing a new property, after noticing persistent drainage issues, or as part of a regular maintenance routine. This survey provides invaluable insights into the hidden condition of underground pipes, enabling targeted, cost-effective repairs and helping to prevent future problems. By accurately identifying issues, a CCTV drain survey saves time, money, and disruption compared to traditional exploratory methods.
