CCTV Drain Surveys

If you are experiencing ongoing drainage issues or want to understand the condition of your system, a CCTV drain survey is the most accurate way to diagnose the problem. At Plumbers For Drains, we provide professional CCTV drain surveys for homes and businesses, giving you clear answers and the right solution.

Drainage problems are often hidden underground, which makes them difficult to diagnose without the right equipment. Our CCTV surveys allow us to inspect your drains internally, identify faults, and recommend the most effective next steps.

What Is a CCTV Drain Survey?

A CCTV drain survey involves inserting a specialist camera into your drainage system to carry out a full internal inspection.

This allows us to:

Identify blockages and build up
Detect cracks, fractures, and collapsed pipes
Locate root ingress
Spot misaligned or displaced joints
Assess the overall condition of the drainage system

The footage provides a clear and accurate picture of what is happening inside your drains, removing guesswork and ensuring the issue is diagnosed properly.

When Do You Need a CCTV Drain Survey?

There are several situations where a CCTV drain survey is recommended.

Common reasons include:

Recurring blockages or slow drainage
Suspected damage to drains
Buying or selling a property
Ongoing damp or leak issues
Before carrying out drainage repairs
Preventative maintenance checks

If you are unsure what is causing a drainage issue, a CCTV survey is often the first and most important step.

Accurate Diagnosis, Effective Solutions

At Plumbers For Drains, we use high quality camera equipment to ensure every CCTV drain survey is thorough and reliable. Once the inspection is complete, we explain our findings clearly and provide straightforward recommendations.

Depending on what we find, solutions may include:

Drain unblocking
High pressure water jetting (HPWJ)
Drain repairs or relining
Full or partial drain replacement

Our focus is always on resolving the issue properly and preventing it from coming back.

DCL were able to find the blockage and clear it even though the blockage was actually under next doors drive! They definitely went above and beyond to clear the problem

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. DCL were introduced / recommended to us by our Park Manager and they did some major underfloor plumbing for us when we moved into our park home 15 years ago and have had no trouble whatsoever since.  Today I called for some advice after some concerns about possible water damage / leakage from my kitchen outlet pipe.  Del also did thorough investigation of 3 major kitchen appliances which may have had a leak and gave he me absolute peace of mind that there was no need to be concerned and I am so so grateful to him after a very worrying few days thinking I might have to replace 3 major kitchen appliances.  I also learnt that DCL have other experienced tradesmen on the team - electrician - carpenter for example.  In future DCL will be my first call when in doubt or trouble.  Million thanks again Del.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 5 days of groundwork, new pipes and connections including a sub-surface pump and some electrics for the pump. Cameron from DCL was excellent and the other laborers used were polite and everyone worked very effectively. Work was completed on time and to the original cost estimate. Site left neat at the end of every day. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. DCL drains were very quick to respond and rectify an issue with poor ventilation on a downpipe. Whilst completing this job, they inspected a different issue I had with a poorly fitted manhole cover. They quoted on the spot and the work was very satisfactory completed in next few days. I’d certainly recommend DCL drains for the quality of their work.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This company has done two  jobs for me. The first comprised the extension of a cold water feed and and drainage run to enable the installation of a dishwasher. Due to the proposed location the job required an element of design and a very practical solution was found, and the installation was undertaken efficiently and at the agreed cost.

The second larger job was the refitting of my bathroom and separate WC. Again the work was undertaken efficiently and to an excellent standard. There was good communication regarding the planning and design of the work, and I was very happy with the outcome. The work was completed on schedule and the working area was left tidy and clean every day. I have no hesitation in respect of recommending this firm.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After a very disappointing experience with another company at my home, a customer recommended DCL and I’m incredibly grateful they did.

Ian arrived exactly when he said he would, took the time to listen to everything that had happened over the previous few weeks and then carried out a thorough, logical investigation. He didn’t make assumptions or rush to a conclusion. He methodically ruled things out, completed a CCTV survey of the drainage system, explained everything clearly as he went along and ultimately identified the source of the leak that had caused me weeks of stress.

Better still, he repaired it there and then, left everything tidy and produced a clear, detailed report.

Communication from the office was excellent throughout, the hourly charging was transparent and fair, and I always felt I was paying for the work actually carried out rather than a fixed package.

As a business owner myself, I really value professionalism, attention to detail and good customer service. DCL exceeded my expectations in every respect and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.
