How Much Does a CCTV Drainage Survey Cost?

A CCTV drainage survey typically costs between £150 and £350, depending on the size and complexity of the drainage system. Factors influencing the price include the length of the pipelines, accessibility, and the level of detail required in the survey report.

Surveys of extensive or intricate networks might require additional equipment like crawler cameras, which can navigate through larger pipes and provide clearer images. Other aspects affecting cost can include obstacles like hard-to-reach manholes or the need for traffic management plans if the drainage system is beneath a busy road.

Compliance with National Building Regulations and BS EN 13508 standards may also be necessary for certain projects. For a more precise quotation, contact us to arrange an on-site evaluation.

How Do CCTV Drainage Surveys Work?

A CCTV drainage survey involves inserting a specialised camera into your drainage system to capture real-time footage. We use high-resolution cameras that can navigate through pipes as narrow as 50mm in diameter, enabling us to inspect even the smallest drains.

  1. Our trained technicians feed a camera through the pipes to inspect hard-to-reach areas. The flexible camera head, equipped with LED lighting, ensures visibility even in dim and murky conditions.

  2. The camera sends live images back to our screen, allowing us to spot blockages, cracks, or damage. We use pan-and-tilt functions to thoroughly examine every section and identify potential issues.

  3. We compile a detailed report with images and recommendations for any necessary repairs. Our report includes pipe flow rates and material assessments in accordance with the WRc Drainage Repair Book standards.

This method ensures minimal disruption to your property and provides comprehensive insights into your drainage health. It effectively addresses issues for residential, commercial, and industrial clients who value timely and precise diagnostics.

What Are the Benefits of CCTV Drainage Surveys?

CCTV drainage surveys offer multiple benefits, including:

  • Accurate Diagnosis: Using advanced camera technology, we can pinpoint exact issues within the drainage system without guesswork, ensuring precise identification of blockages, cracks, or root intrusions.

  • Cost-Effective: By detecting problems early, these surveys help us avoid unnecessary excavation, which significantly reduces repair costs and minimises disruption to the property.

  • Preventative Maintenance: Regular surveys enable us to identify potential problems before they escalate, preventing expensive emergency repairs and prolonging the lifespan of drainage systems.

  • Comprehensive Reporting: We provide a detailed analysis of the drainage condition with high-resolution video footage and observations, facilitating informed decision-making that complies with industry standards like WRc and NADC.

Using these surveys, clients ranging from homeowners to commercial property managers can ensure the optimal performance of their drainage systems. Call us to experience these benefits with our professional surveys.

How Long Does a CCTV Drainage Survey Take?

Most CCTV drainage surveys are completed within two to four hours.

The total time may vary based on the size of the system and any complexities encountered during the survey. For larger commercial properties with extensive drainage networks, the survey may take a bit longer, typically extending to a full day.

We use Pan-and-Tilt cameras for more intricate inspections, which allow us to thoroughly examine pipework of varying diameters. If obstacles such as blockages are detected, additional time might be needed to clear these impediments using high-pressure jetting before moving forward.

Our efficient service ensures minimal disruption to your schedule, and we aim to provide prompt feedback and solutions based on the findings detailed in a survey report.
