About Manchester CCTV Drain Survey

We are a team of drainage engineers based in Greater Manchester, specialising in CCTV drain surveys for residential and commercial properties. Our focus is simple: use professional camera equipment to find out exactly what is happening inside your drains, then give you a clear, honest report so you can make informed decisions.

Local Engineers Who Know Manchester Drainage

Our engineers live and work across Greater Manchester. They know the Victorian clay pipe systems that run beneath the terraced streets of Salford and Gorton. They understand the combined sewer networks in older boroughs and the modern plastic pipe installations on newer estates in Trafford and Stockport. This local knowledge matters because drainage problems in Manchester are not generic — they are shaped by the age of the housing stock, the local geology, the tree coverage, and the history of the sewer network.

When our engineer arrives at your property, they already have a good idea of what to expect based on the area, the postcode, and the type of property. That experience means faster, more accurate surveys and better advice.

Professional Equipment, Not Consumer Gadgets

We use professional-grade CCTV survey equipment — the same systems used by water companies and specialist drainage contractors. Our push-rod cameras have self-levelling heads that keep the image upright as the camera navigates bends and changes in gradient. For larger diameter pipes and longer runs, we deploy motorised crawler units with adjustable lighting and pan-and-tilt camera heads.

The footage is recorded in high definition with accurate distance counters, so every defect can be pinpointed to within centimetres. This is not a quick peek with a borescope — it is a systematic, thorough inspection that documents the full condition of your drainage system.

Reports You Can Actually Understand

A drain survey is only useful if the report makes sense. Every survey we carry out comes with a detailed written report that includes HD video footage, annotated still images, pipe condition grading, a defect schedule, and clear recommendations. The report is written in plain English, not technical jargon. Whether you are a homeowner, a solicitor, an insurance adjuster, or a builder, you will understand exactly what has been found and what needs doing about it.

Coverage Across Greater Manchester

We cover every borough of Greater Manchester: Manchester city centre, Salford, Trafford, Stockport, Tameside, Oldham, Rochdale, Bury, Bolton, and Wigan. There are no additional travel charges regardless of where you are located. We offer same-day availability for urgent enquiries and can usually schedule planned surveys within a few days.

Honest, Straightforward Service

We do not carry out drainage repairs. That means we have no incentive to exaggerate problems or recommend unnecessary work. Our job is to tell you what we find — accurately and honestly. If your drains are in good condition, we will tell you. If there is a problem, we will explain what it is, how serious it is, and what your options are. We can recommend trusted local contractors for any remedial work, but we will never pressure you into spending money.
