CCTV Drain Surveys in Deal

A CCTV drain survey is the fastest way to find out exactly what is wrong with a drain, rather than guessing from the surface. A camera is fed through the drainage system and shows the condition of the pipes and the precise location of any problem. We connect you with an insured local specialist who surveys drains properly and explains what they find.

What the service includes

• A camera survey of the drainage runs from accessible points
• Identification of blockages, cracks, collapses and root intrusion
• The exact location and depth of any problem
• Assessment of who is responsible on shared or lateral drains
• A report, often with footage, setting out the findings
• A clear recommendation and quote for any repair needed

When a CCTV survey helps

• Recurring or stubborn blockages that keep coming back
• Slow drains, gurgling or persistent bad smells
• Damp, subsidence or cracking that might be drain-related
• Before buying a house, to check the drainage
• To settle who is responsible for a shared drain

Why it saves money

Clearing a blockage without knowing the cause often means it returns — and you pay again. A survey identifies whether the problem is a one-off blockage or underlying damage like a cracked pipe or root intrusion, so the right, lasting repair is done. It turns guesswork into a clear, evidenced plan.

Local knowledge

Deal and east Kent have plenty of older property with ageing clay drains prone to cracking and root intrusion, and coastal ground movement can displace joints. A camera survey cuts straight to the cause, which on these older systems is often not what it first appears.
