Complete Underground Camera Inspections and Tracing

Diagnostic CCTV Drain Surveys

If a drain keeps backing up or you notice a foul smell in your home or garden, our camera pinpoints hidden cracks, collapsed pipes, displaced joints or tree roots without digging a single hole.

Build Over Surveys (Extensions and Building Control)

Planning a home extension or conservatory near a public sewer? We carry out pre-build and post-build CCTV Build Over Surveys to check pipe condition and satisfy Southern Water and Building Control requirements.

Drain Connectivity Surveys

Tracing where underground pipes run, mapping connections and checking that foul water and surface rainwater are connected to the correct drainage systems.

Pre-Purchase Homebuyer Surveys

Standard building surveys rarely inspect underground drains. Before you exchange contracts on an Island property, we check that you are not inheriting collapsed pipes or costly defects.

Shared and Communal Drain Disputes

When flats or neighbouring properties share a drain, we trace the system and capture photo and video proof showing whether a fault is inside a private pipe or a shared communal line.

Home Insurance Claim Reports

If you have a collapsed or damaged drain and need evidence for your building insurance company, we provide clear camera footage and a concise report detailing the fault.

Plain-English Explanations and Honest Recommendations

Live On-Screen Walkthrough

During the inspection, Dean shows you what the camera is seeing on screen and explains what is happening in plain English without any baffling jargon.

Photos, Video and Concise Report

We provide clear photographic and video evidence alongside a concise, accurate written report ready for Building Control, Southern Water, insurers, solicitors or landlords.

Cost-Saving Repair Options

If our camera spots a cracked pipe or open joint, we always look for the simplest, lowest-cost way to fix it, such as a no-dig resin patch rather than an expensive excavation.

"Contacted Dean for a drain survey. The survey was undertaken within a few days and the following report was concise and very accurate. I would highly recommend Dean as his experience as a drainage technician is clearly shown in the standard of work."
Paul Coleman
"What impressed me most was their attention to detail. They didn't just clear the blockage and leave; they fully investigated the cause, took photographs and video evidence, and clearly identified that the issue was not coming from my flat but from a communal drain serving other properties."
