A drainage investigation uses a camera to find the cause of an ongoing problem. Unlike a routine survey, we focus only on your specific symptoms. This helps with repeat blockages, damp patches, bad smells, or slow drains that won't clear. You get a written report with footage, images, and clear next steps.
A camera survey shows the real condition of your pipes. Read our guide on what a CCTV drain survey finds before you book.
We start by asking about the problem, including which fixtures struggle and when it happens. This tells us where to focus the camera work.
We trace the drain from the problem area outward. We record every pipe section until we find the fault causing it.
Once we find the cause, whether roots, a collapsed section, or a moved joint, we record it clearly. Annotated footage and images back up our findings.
You get a report explaining the problem, its location, and the best fix. We rank solutions by cost and effect, and can quote on the spot.
The cost depends on how complex your drains are and how long the fault takes to find. A quick diagnosis costs less than one needing more digging into. Request a fast, fixed-price quote online. We agree a fixed price first, with no call-out fee.
A standard survey gives a general check of your whole drain system. An investigation instead follows your symptoms to trace one specific fault. It may cover the full system, or just the affected section, depending on what's needed.

Yes. Our reports include timestamped footage, marked-up images, and a clear condition assessment. Insurers, and courts if needed, accept them as solid evidence.
