While needs vary by home, a CCTV drain survey shows the true state of your pipes. Buyers in Roker use it to check a property before they commit. Owners in Pallion use it to solve a drainage mystery. The camera reveals defects that no eye can see from above ground.
Contact us to arrange a time that suits you. We arrive at your Sunderland property, with the survey equipment ready. You don't need to prepare anything.
Since every property differs, we access the drainage system through manholes or inspection chambers. Then we feed a high-definition camera through the whole pipe network.
The camera still sends live footage straight to a monitor. As we go, we spot cracks, root damage, displaced joints, and other faults.
You get a written report with annotated screenshots and a summary of the pipe's condition. We also include clear, prioritised advice on any repairs you may need.
Since conditions vary by site, our technician guides a camera through your full drain run. We record the footage and note every defect we find. You get a written report with clear images and repairs ranked by priority, so you know what to fix first.
Local tip: Since small checks save bigger bills, flats near the Stadium of Light often share basement drainage. It can be hard to know which section is yours. A CCTV survey settles that question with clear evidence. Get one done before a dispute with a neighbour starts.
The cost depends on your property's size and how complex the drainage is. Larger networks, and properties such as Victorian terraces, inter-war semis, post-war council housing, and coastal properties in Roker and Seaburn, take longer to survey. Ask for a fast, fixed-price quote online, and we confirm the price upfront.
We strongly recommend a pre-purchase drain survey for Sunderland properties, especially older ones. Hidden drainage faults can still cost thousands to fix, since standard homebuyer surveys don't cover them. A CCTV check gives you negotiating power and peace of mind.
A typical Sunderland survey takes one to two hours. You get the full report soon after, with annotated footage. Larger or more complex properties may need a little longer.
