What is a CCTV drain inspection?
A CCTV drainage survey involves using specialist, high tech CCTV cameras to perform a visual inspection on the inside of your drains, pipes, and sewer systems.
These high-tech cameras provide a clear, real-time visual of what’s happening inside your drains, identifying blockages, cracks, misalignments, or other issues. It's a fast, non-disruptive, and highly effective way to diagnose problems without invasive digging or guesswork.
