WHAT IS A CCTV DRAIN SURVEY?

A CCTV drain survey is a video inspection with a drain camera to evaluate the interior of your pipelines and drains. The use of small, flexible cameras allows the engineer to access parts of the drainage system that are inaccessible without full excavation. A wheel-mounted camera unit is lowered into your drainage system and sends high-definition live images back to a remote screen. Our engineers can provide instant feedback on-site regarding the issue and make recommendations on the next steps to resolve your drainage problem.

At Alton Pump Services our CCTV drain surveys cover domestic properties, commercial properties, industrial units, care homes, schools, colleges, construction sites and general infrastructure.

MINIMAL DISRUPTION

The difficulty of managing drainage systems is that problems are not visible until the signs of damage become apparent above ground, at which point more damage can occur and increase health hazards. A CCTV drain survey can allow us to check the pipe condition and is a cost-effective way of inspecting your drains with minimal disruption to your home or workplace

Using a drain camera for a CCTV drain survey can identify problems in your drainage system like collapsed drains, cracked drains, root penetration or pest infestation, without the need for digging a trench to inspect your drain.  A remote control wheel mounted camera will enter your drainage system to inspect the area and can survey a variety of drain sizes.

FAULT IDENTIFICATION

Drainage faults are not always visible. Identifying potential issues early on can prevent small drainage problems from developing into major issues.  From the camera images our engineer will be able to pinpoint the cause of your problem and where it’s located or alert you to any minor drainage problems that could develop into bigger problems over time like debris build up or hairline cracks.  Alton Pump Services can then recommend the most appropriate course of action which can range from patch repair, drain liningdrain jetting, or drain replacement.

HOW MUCH DOES A CCTV DRAIN SURVEY COST?

CCTV drain surveys require the use of hi-tech equipment by experienced drainage engineers. The cost of a survey depends on a number of factors. At Alton Pump Services we provide either a basic drain survey or a full CCTV drain survey with report. Talk to our operations team to find out what type of survey you need,

Our drainage team will visit your site, conduct a survey and provide advice on what work needs to be carried out to resolve your issue. We can then provide a no-obligation quote to carry out the work.

The cost of a CCTV will depend on a number of factors:

  • Size of property
  • Location of property
  • Condition and accessibility of drainage system
  • Length of drain and diameter of pipes
  • Type of survey (full survey with report or basic)

 

TYPES OF DRAIN SURVEYS

BASIC CCTV DRAIN INSPECTION

A basic inspection is used to detect the location of a persistent blockage and identify the cause without the need for digging. Common blockages and probable leaks are typically located with a basic survey to confirm the problem.

 

FULL CCTV DRAIN SURVEY

A full CCTV inspection includes a basic survey with the addition of a written report, and if requested, stills from the CCTV footage. Our camera technology allows us to provide comprehensive footage and reports that are accurate and detailed. The report will include: how long the survey took, the length of the drainage surveyed, initial findings, and a list of recommendations based on the findings. A full survey report provides extensive information on the health of your drains by identifying major issues that need immediate attention and altering you to minor issues that have the potential to develop into serious problems in the future.

 

DRAIN MAPPING

We use the latest technology to map your drains within your drainage system.  If no inspection chambers are visible this can be the best option to locate your drains. Once we have mapped your drains with our drain camera you can use this plan to aid future drain management or the location of building works.

 

HOME BUYERS CCTV DRAIN SURVEY

An often overlooked survey when buying a new home. Buyers tend to focus on the location and size of the home, paying particular attention to the mandatory surveys of a house purchase incorporating the roof, walls and energy efficiency of the building.  The drain survey is overlooked firstly because potential issues are below ground and not immediately visible and secondly because a house surveyor often lacks the equipment and expertise to asses the drainage system.

A Home Buyers Drain Survey can highlight potential issues which could become costly in the future for the new homeowner and could be avoided with a thorough appraisal of the drainage system through a Home Buyers Drain survey.
