Why Get a CCTV Drain Inspection
Drain problems aren’t always visible, but early signs like slow flow or bad smells often point to something deeper. Our inspections help you:
- Find the exact cause of recurring blockages
- Detect pipe cracks, misalignment, and root intrusion
- Avoid unnecessary excavation and repair costs
- Document your drains for insurance or compliance
- Get peace of mind before buying or renovating a property
Seeing what’s really happening inside your drains helps you make smarter, more cost-effective decisions.
When to Book an Inspection
CCTV drain inspections are useful for more than emergencies. You should consider one if:
- You’ve had repeated drain blockages that keep coming back
- Slow drainage or gurgling sounds suggest deeper issues
- Smells or damp areas indicate damaged or leaking pipes
- You’re buying a property and want to avoid hidden drainage costs
- Trees are planted near pipes and you suspect root intrusion
For buyers, our pre-purchase CCTV drain inspections can reveal hidden problems before settlement — saving thousands in unexpected repairs.
