What exactly is a CCTV drain survey?
A CCTV drain survey is a relatively new technology that allows us to see the inside of the drains using a small camera attached to a flexible cable. It has been used for many years in the water industry and can help us identify blockages before they cause problems. It is carried out by taking pictures from the outside, so it doesn’t involve excavation or digging up pipes and cables on your property.
The drain survey helps us to determine if there are any issues with your drains that need further investigation or repairs, such as blockages or leaks. The footage is recorded onto our computer so we can share it with you on request if needed. The most common causes for blockages are tree roots or grease from cooking fat being washed down kitchen sinks by rainwater.
We also have access to modern CCTV equipment which means we can perform our CCTV inspection at night when your drains are typically less busy than during the daytime (and therefore easier to access). This will help us get your job done quickly so you don’t have any further issues with drainage problems in the future!
What’s more, we use WIN CAN software so we can analyze your drainage system remotely and call up past recordings to make comparisons and help you plan future maintenance.
To ensure you don’t have any unexpected surprises and that everything is working well, a CCTV drain survey can help you to find out what’s going on inside. We can carry out a drain inspection without causing any disruption to your home or business.
The drain inspection starts by putting a high-resolution camera into the drainage system. Then, using rods to help manoeuver it through the drainage pipes, the camera is guided throughout the system gathering data as it goes. This data is fed back to the operator for analysis and can be compared to other data collected previously.
The CCTV inspection will show defects, blockages, or potential problems in the drainage system, allowing you to have the peace of mind that your drains are working correctly. If there are any issues with your drains, it’s important to get them fixed as soon as possible. Here at Pro Drainage in Bournemouth, we offer CCTV drain surveys which will allow us to find out what is wrong with your drainage system so that we can fix it for you at an affordable price!
