What the camera can find
The survey records the visible condition of the pipe and helps locate a fault along the run.
- Cracks, holes and damaged pipe sections
- Displaced or open joints
- Root entry
- Debris, scale or other deposits
- Sections that appear to hold waste or water
Why the drain may need clearing first
A camera cannot give a useful view through standing wastewater or a solid blockage. Clearance may be needed first so the camera can travel along the pipe and the wall of the drain can be seen.
When a survey adds useful evidence
CCTV is particularly helpful for recurring blockages, suspected damage and locating a repair. It can also show that a drain is clear and appears sound after an obstruction has been removed.
What happens after the survey
The findings should guide the next step. That may be no further work, more cleaning to remove deposits or a targeted repair where a defect is affecting the drain.
