Top-rated Leicester CCTV for drains and drainage inspections

Leicester is a city where historic Roman and Victorian architecture meet modern urban expansion. Because of this mix, local drainage systems vary wildly in age and material—from old clay pipes to modern PVC. In a leafy city like ours, tree root intrusion and shifting soil are also common culprits behind damaged drains. An expert inspection is vital for your property's health.

Our domestic CCTV surveys offer a non-destructive way to see inside your pipes. We find the cracks and clogs without lifting a single paving slab, providing you with high-def video evidence and a professional summary.

We see the problem directly, allowing us to implement the right fix immediately based on visual proof. Our cameras pinpoint the fault, so any work is confined to the exact area that needs it.

Small leaks can lead to massive bills if they undermine your foundations. Investing in a survey now prevents the nasty surprises that come with neglected drainage.

Do you require a specialist party wall drainage survey in Leicester?

Planning an extension or a new build near a neighbour’s boundary? A party wall drain survey is a legal safeguard. Shared sewers require professional sign-off to make sure that your construction work doesn’t crush or block the communal pipes.

The Drain Survey Company specialises in these specific legal inspections. We document the condition of the drains before and after your project, protecting you from potential legal disputes or claims of damage from neighbours.

Why is drain tracing in Leicester important?

Finding a pipe shouldn't be a game of hide-and-seek. Our non-invasive drain tracing technology uses sonar to map out the path of your underground system without any digging.

This is essential for finding lost manholes, identifying hidden joints, or mapping a system before a renovation. Ignoring the layout of your pipes can lead to accidental damage during building work, which is a very expensive mistake to fix.

For a precise look at your system, check out our FAQs.

Q: How long does a CCTV drain survey take?

Most standard residential surveys are completed in just a few hours, depending on the number of access points.

Q: Do I need a survey if I’m buying a house?

It’s highly recommended. It’s a small investment that can save you from inheriting a ‘money pit’ drainage system.

Q: How does the camera identify exact issues?

The high-def lens captures every detail, from hairline cracks and grease buildup to specific items stuck in the pipe, giving our engineers a perfect view of the internal condition.

Signs you need a drain survey Leicester

If you're getting fed up with plumbing problems that won't go away or you're noticing some pretty worrying signs, then a CCTV drain survey is a good idea.

Sorting out what's going on can save you a whole load of stress when it comes to dealing with those emergency repairs, and you'll avoid the huge bill that comes with fixing all the damage that can be done to your property.

  • Foul smells: Persistent sewage or musty smells that hang around your drains and even your garden.
  • Slow-draining sinks & baths: Water takes a long time to drain from sinks, baths, or showers, even after using cleaners.
  • Rising water levels: Your toilet is on the brink of overflowing, or water is backing up into your other plumbing fixtures.
  • Pipe noises: You hear strange gurgling and bubbling sounds when you're running the water in another part of the house.
  • Flooding that's just appearing out of nowhere: You're noticing patches of soggy ground or even sinkholes showing up in your outdoor spaces for no reason.
  • Cracks & damp patches: You're seeing cracks in the walls or damp patches, which could indicate a leaky or hidden pipe underground.
  • Rats: Seeing or hearing rats. Rats can sneak in and start causing all sorts of other problems.

CCTV drain survey process Leicester

A professional CCTV drain survey is a systematic way to inspect the condition of your pipes. We use high-resolution camera equipment to see exactly what is happening underground in real-time.

  • Initial setup and access: Our specialists identify the best entry point, usually a manhole or an inspection chamber, to insert the camera equipment without disrupting your property.
  • Camera insertion and navigation: A flexible, high-definition camera is fed into the drainage system. These units are designed to navigate tight bends and long stretches of pipework to ensure a complete view.
  • Real-time analysis: The camera transmits a live video feed to a monitor, allowing the surveyor to inspect for cracks, blockages, root ingress, or structural collapses as they happen.
  • Problem location and recording: If an issue is found, we use sonar tracing to pinpoint its exact location on the surface, ensuring any future repairs are perfectly targeted.
  • Comprehensive reporting: After the site visit, the footage is reviewed. You receive a technical report that includes the high-resolution video files and a summary of any necessary repairs or maintenance.
