Understanding what lies beneath your Newcastle upon Tyne property has never been more important. Our CCTV drain surveys provide clear, documented footage of pipe condition across the city's varied stock — from Georgian buildings in Grainger Town to Tyneside flats in Heaton — helping owners and buyers make informed decisions.
Contact us to arrange a convenient time. We arrive at your Newcastle upon Tyne property typically within 45-60 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 insert a high-definition waterproof camera through manholes or inspection chambers and traverse the full drainage network beneath your property. Footage is recorded and a written report with annotated screenshots is provided, identifying any defects and recommending appropriate action.
Local tip: If you are buying a Tyneside flat in Heaton or a Victorian terrace in Fenham, commission a pre-purchase CCTV drain survey. Shared drainage defects in these property types are common and can cost thousands to remediate — identifying them before exchange gives you negotiating power.
