What is a CCTV drain inspection?

A CCTV drain inspection uses a flexible, high-resolution camera fed through your pipes to inspect the inside of the drain. It helps locate blockages, cracks, root intrusion and pipe defects without digging.

You’ll see the footage live, we’ll explain what we’re seeing in plain English, and you’ll get clear next steps.

When a camera inspection makes sense

FAQs

Do I need a camera inspection if the drain is blocked?
If it’s a one-off, a standard clear may be enough. If it keeps coming back, a camera inspection is the quickest way to find the real cause (roots, damage, collapse, poor fall, etc.).
Will you show me the footage?
Yes. We’ll show you what we’re seeing and explain it clearly so you can make a confident decision on next steps.
Can you fix it the same day?
Often, yes. If the issue is a blockage and access is straightforward, we can usually clear it. If it needs repairs or relining, we’ll explain options and timing after the inspection.
