A CCTV drain survey sounds technical, but the process itself is simple. Since it's the clearest way to see what's really going on underground, more homeowners and buyers across Manchester and Salford ask for one each year.
Our engineer arrives with a waterproof camera on a flexible cable, small enough to travel through most pipe widths. Since there's no digging involved, you get no mess and no disruption to your garden or driveway.
You do not need to do much before the visit. Just make sure the engineer can reach the manhole or access point. Because the camera needs a clear route, it helps to move any bins or planters first.
The camera feeds through the pipe from a manhole or access point, sending live footage back to a screen. We watch for cracks, root damage, loose joints and any blockage as it appears. These issues turn up often in the older properties around Altrincham and Cheadle.
A typical survey takes one to two hours, depending on the size of the property and how much pipe needs checking. Since we record every metre, nothing slips past unseen.
You get a written CCTV survey report with clear photos, showing the pipe's condition and anything worth fixing through our drain repairs service. The report explains what the camera found in plain terms. Since this gives you real evidence, it's useful whether you're planning repairs or buying a property in Bolton, Hazel Grove, or anywhere across Stockport and Cheshire. Request a quote to book yours.
