How cctv drain surveys works in Manchester
1
Book Your Survey
Contact us to pick a time that suits you. Since access can vary by property, we bring our own survey kit and need no prep from you.
2
Camera Insertion
We reach the drains through manholes or small hatches. Since the camera is fully waterproof, it can travel the whole pipe in one go.
3
Live Inspection
The camera sends live footage to a screen as we go. While we watch, we can spot cracks, root damage, loose joints and other faults.
4
Detailed Report
You get a written report with clear photos. Since a photo alone can miss context, it also lists the pipe's condition and what to fix first.
5
Walk-Through & Next Steps
Once the survey ends, we walk you through what the footage shows. Since the report backs up what you saw on screen, you have solid proof for any repair work or property choice.
Our approach in Manchester
We insert a high-definition camera into your drainage system, recording footage that clearly shows the condition of your pipes. You receive a detailed report with findings, recommendations, and annotated images showing any areas of concern. Local tip: Buying a property in Manchester's older suburbs?

Do I need a CCTV drain survey before buying a property in Manchester?
We strongly suggest a pre-purchase drain survey for Manchester homes, especially older builds. Since hidden drain faults can cost thousands to fix, and normal home surveys miss them, a CCTV check is worth the cost. It gives you proof to show, and peace of mind.
