CCTV Drain Surveys Costs in London

​

Poor drainage may be a major inconvenience for homeowners, and dealing with it necessitates a thorough understanding of the issue. CCTV drain surveys can aid in this situation but many customers are worried about the cost.

If you've recently purchased a new house or are having problems with your current one, a CCTV drain survey from Drainsmart can help you establish whether the drains are blocked or damaged. Our professional drainage engineers conduct these surveys at your property, completing a comprehensive drain survey in one day. They will present you with a report detailing the condition of all of your pipes and drains, highlighting any potential issues and/or solutions.

 

What is a CCTV drain survey?

A CCTV drain survey is a comprehensive assessment of a drainage system. Special CCTV cameras that are fed into the drains and provide a live feed are used. The Drainsmart surveying engineers will then be able to see the condition of the drains and identify any problems.

Drain surveys are critical to conduct if you suspect drain obstructions or pipe damage. If you're buying an older home, it's also a good idea to schedule a survey to check the drainage system is in good working order.

CCTV drain surveys necessitate the use of high-tech equipment by professional engineers, which is why many customers choose us for their surveys. We have decades of experience in the industry and invest in advanced equipment.

Our standard CCTV drain survey will include 3 manholes - which is usually enough for most properties. If additional manholes are required (because your property is a lot larger) then additional manholes can be purchased. Speak to our team to find out more about this.

​

Would It Be Better to Have An Inspection or a Survey?

CCTV inspections are commonly used to ensure that the correct diagnosis is determined when dealing with common drainage issues. Buyers interested in houses or businesses who want a thorough study of the drainage system would benefit from CCTV drain surveys.
A drainage professional would usually advise on the best course of action to take in order to solve an issue or compile a full drainage report. A survey is always a smart idea because it allows you to see the state of the drainage system up close.

​

Are There Any Factors That Would Increase the Price?

As the drainage is underground and every system is different, we do not know what we are going to find until we have the CCTV camera units in the pipework. If additional work is needed such as high pressure water jetting to clear a blockage to allow the drain survey to be carried out or electronic sonde tracing to pinpoint the position of a point of interest such as a concealed manhole or connection with a public sewer, we would discuss our charges with you prior to action. 
 
If you know of anything at the property which may affect our engineers being able to conduct the survey, please let us know beforehand. This may help us provide a more accurate quote. With all our CCTV drain surveys in London, we will always let you know the price before any work takes place and we will only take payment after the work has been completed.
