Ingatestone's mix of historic and modern properties, combined with both mains and private drainage systems, makes CCTV surveys particularly valuable. Our cameras reveal the true condition of underground pipes and help identify problems before they become emergencies.
Contact us to arrange a convenient time. We arrive at your Ingatestone property typically within 60-90 minutes with self-contained survey equipment — no preparation is needed on your part.
We access the drainage system through manholes or inspection chambers and feed a high-definition waterproof camera through the entire pipe network.
The camera transmits real-time footage to a monitor, allowing us to identify cracks, root ingress, displaced joints, blockages, and other defects as we progress.
You receive a written report with annotated screenshots, a pipe condition summary, and prioritised recommendations for any repairs or maintenance needed.
We survey your drainage system thoroughly, whether mains-connected or private. The detailed report helps you understand your system's condition and plan any maintenance or repairs needed.
