Understanding Your Drains: What is a Drainage Inspection?

A drainage inspection, often known as a CCTV drain survey, is essentially an 'MOT' for your underground pipework. Using high-resolution cameras, we send a specialist camera head through your drainage system, capturing live video footage of its interior. This allows us to see exactly what’s going on, even in the trickiest spots. You might need a drain inspection for various reasons: perhaps you're experiencing recurring blockages in your Ottery St Mary home, planning a home extension and need a build-over survey, or buying a new property and require a pre-purchase drain inspection to avoid inheriting costly problems. Our detailed surveys help you understand the precise condition of your drains, saving you time, money, and hassle in the long run.

Why Choose Us for Your CCTV Drain Survey?

Our Advanced CCTV Drain Survey Technology in Action

We invest in the latest CCTV drain survey equipment to ensure accuracy and efficiency for our Ottery St Mary customers. Our specialist cameras can navigate pipes of various sizes, transmitting crystal-clear images back to our monitor. This means we can pinpoint everything from hairline cracks and displaced joints to significant root ingress or even collapsed pipework. We can also perform drain tracing and sonar mapping to accurately locate your drainage lines underground, which is invaluable for planning extensions or understanding complex systems in older properties around East Devon. This state-of-the-art approach means no guesswork – just precise diagnostics.

Common Drain Problems Our Surveys Uncover in East Devon

Our detailed drain surveys frequently reveal a range of issues common in both urban and rural settings across Ottery St Mary, Sidmouth, Exeter, and beyond. We often find tree roots that have invaded pipes, causing recurring blockages – a common problem in properties with mature gardens. Other culprits include fatbergs (solidified fats, oils, and grease) and scale buildup reducing flow, or structural defects like cracks, fractures, and collapsed pipes. We also check for correct pipe gradients, identifying bellied pipes that collect debris, and even signs of rodent ingress points. Knowing exactly what the problem is, and where it's located, is the crucial first step to effective repair.

Clear Reports & Honest Advice for Ottery St Mary Residents

Once we've completed your drainage inspection, we don't just leave you with a video. We provide a comprehensive, easy-to-understand report detailing our findings, often accompanied by the video footage itself. If we find any issues, we'll explain them clearly, without jargon, and provide honest, practical recommendations for the best course of action. This might range from a simple high-pressure water jetting to clear a blockage, to more complex repairs using 'no-dig' patch lining technology. Our goal is to empower you with the knowledge to make informed decisions about your drainage system, ensuring your Ottery St Mary property stays flowing freely.

Sarah P, Exmouth

Mark T, Budleigh Salterton

Advanced CCTV Drain Surveys for Exeter Homes: What Are They and Why Do I Need One?

As your local drainage experts, we instantly spot issues like cracked pipes, collapsed sections, or heavy fatbergs without digging up your driveway.

Buying a Property in Clyst Heath? Why You Need a Homebuyer Drain Report

+

We highly recommend booking a survey before you exchange contracts. When you buy a house in Clyst Heath, you take on the legal responsibility for the underground pipework within the property boundaries. A detailed homebuyer drain report brings hidden defects into the open, highlighting collapsed pipes, poor previous repairs, or illegal connections. Having this professional report gives you the evidence you need to renegotiate the purchase price or ask the current owner to fix the problems first.
