CCTV drain survey process Loughborough

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.
