CCTV Drainage Survey
Get expert CCTV drainage surveys from Proline Drainage Ltd. Fast, non-invasive inspections with detailed reports. Trusted across Surrey & Sussex.
What Is a CCTV Drainage Survey?
A CCTV drainage survey is one of the most effective ways to understand the health of your drainage system — without digging or guesswork. Whether you’re buying a property, dealing with recurring drainage issues, or need to locate a hidden fault, Proline Drainage Ltd offers expert CCTV drain inspections across Surrey, Sussex, and Greater London. We use state-of-the-art drain cameras to identify blockages, cracks, root intrusion, and more – all while saving you the cost and disruption of invasive work.
A CCTV drainage survey (also known as a drain camera survey or CCTV drain inspection) is a professional diagnostic service that involves inserting a high-resolution waterproof camera into your drainage system. This gives engineers a real-time visual of the interior condition of your drains, helping to identify any faults, blockages, or deterioration.
Unlike traditional methods, this non-invasive inspection provides precise data without the need for costly excavation. It’s an essential service for:
- Homebuyers
- Landlords
- Business owners
- Property developers
How Does a CCTV Drainage Survey Work?
Our expert engineers arrive on site equipped with the latest CCTV camera equipment. The process typically involves:
Initial assessment
Understanding your concerns and identifying the most relevant access points.
Camera insertion
A specialist camera is guided through your drainage system, sending back a live video feed.
Real-time analysis
We assess the footage on-site, pinpointing any issues like cracks, blockages, root ingress, or collapsed pipes.
Comprehensive report
You receive a detailed report with video footage, a drainage map (if needed), and our expert recommendations.
All our drain surveys are completed by trained engineers — not salespeople — ensuring you get honest, expert feedback you can trust.
Drain Inspections Help to Find
Cracked or broken pipes
Collapsed drains
Blockages caused by fat, grease, or debris
Tree root intrusion
Misaligned or displaced pipe joints
