CCTV Drain Surveys in Crowborough & East Sussex
A CCTV drain survey is a camera inspection used to find blockages, cracks, root ingress or collapsed sections inside a drain without digging. It's typically needed when drains block repeatedly, before buying a property, or as part of routine drain maintenance.

What Happens During a CCTV Drain Survey?
1. Initial Access
An engineer locates a manhole, gully or drain access point suited to the survey.
2. Camera Inspection
A waterproof camera on a flexible rod is fed through the pipework, recording footage as it travels.
3. Live Assessment
The engineer views footage in real time on a monitor, checking for blockages, cracks, root ingress, misalignment or collapse.
4. Report & Recommendations
Findings are logged with footage references and clear next-step advice, whether that's jetting, repair or no action needed.
Proper CCTV rigs give an accurate, non-invasive view of pipe condition that a visual check from the surface simply cannot provide.
