What We Find Inside Your Drains

Our HD cameras reveal problems invisible from the surface. These are the most common defects we identify across Greater Manchester properties.

01

Cracks & Fractures

Hairline cracks through to full pipe breaks caused by ground movement, traffic loading, or age-related deterioration in clay and concrete pipes.

02

Root Ingress

Tree and shrub roots forcing through joints and cracks, gradually blocking the pipe. Common in leafy suburbs like Didsbury and Chorlton.

03

Displaced Joints

Pipe sections that have shifted apart, allowing soil and water ingress. Very common in Victorian clay pipe systems across Greater Manchester.

04

Collapsed Drains

Complete failure of the pipe structure where the crown has fallen into the invert. Requires urgent repair to prevent further damage.

When You Need a CCTV Drain Survey

Not sure if you need a survey? These are the six most common situations where a camera inspection saves you time, money, and stress.

01

Recurring Blockages

If your drains keep blocking, there is a structural cause. A CCTV survey finds the root problem so you can fix it permanently.

02

Buying a Property

A standard house survey does not cover drainage. A pre-purchase CCTV drain survey protects you from inheriting hidden repair costs.

03

Damp or Subsidence

Leaking drains can cause ground saturation, leading to damp walls and foundation movement. A survey confirms whether drainage is the cause.

04

Planning an Extension

You need to know where existing drains run before building. A survey with drain mapping gives your architect the information they need.

05

Slow Drainage

Sluggish sinks, gurgling toilets, or standing water in manholes all suggest a partial blockage or structural defect underground.

06

Insurance or Dispute

A detailed survey report provides documented evidence for insurance claims, boundary disputes, or vendor negotiations.

Reviews

What Our Customers Say

Honest feedback from homeowners and property buyers across Greater Manchester.

“Called in the morning and they were at our property by lunchtime. The engineer was professional, explained everything clearly as he went, and the report arrived by email the same evening. Excellent service from start to finish.”

James T.

Salford

“We had a homebuyer drain survey done before completing on our house in Stockport. The survey found significant root damage in the rear drainage that the house survey had completely missed. Saved us from a very expensive surprise after moving in.”

Sarah & Mark D.

Stockport

“We had been getting our drains unblocked every few months for over a year. These guys did a proper CCTV investigation and found a displaced joint under the patio that was catching everything. One repair and we have not had a single problem since.”

David K.

Trafford

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about our CCTV drain survey services in Manchester.

How much does a CCTV drain survey cost in Manchester? +
A standard domestic CCTV drain survey in Manchester typically costs between £150 and £300, depending on the size of the property and extent of the drainage system. We provide a clear quote before any work begins with no hidden fees.
How long does a drain survey take? +
A standard domestic survey takes between 1 and 2 hours on site. Larger properties or complex drainage layouts may take longer. We give you a time estimate when you book.
Do I need to be at home during the survey? +
It helps if someone over 18 is at the property so we can access internal fixtures and show you the footage in real time. If all access points are external, we can often carry out the survey without you present.
