Residential CCTV Drainage Surveys
what we do
CCTV drainage surveys offer a clear and precise method for evaluating the condition of underground pipework without the need for excavation. Using high-quality camera equipment, Exjet inspects drains of all sizes to identify defects, assess performance, and produce detailed reports. This service helps homeowners, buyers, insurers, and surveyors make confident decisions about drainage systems.
What a CCTV Drain Survey Involves
A CCTV survey uses specialised cameras designed to inspect pipes ranging from 40 mm to 2200 mm in diameter, including culverts. The equipment captures live and recorded footage as it moves through the system, revealing cracks, fractures, blockages, collapsed sections, and other defects.
Our engineers are trained to national standards in defect classification for both pipes and brick sewers. Each survey is supported by a detailed report that includes annotated diagrams, manhole details, and defect pages. A summary of the issues is provided, along with recommendations and costings for remedial work where necessary. These outputs create a lasting historical record of the drainage system’s condition.
Subsidence Investigations
Defective drains can lead to subsidence by allowing water to infiltrate the surrounding soil, weakening it and compromising the building’s stability. Our CCTV drainage surveys offer a reliable method for determining whether drainage issues are a contributing factor. The footage and reports we produce provide surveyors and engineers with clear evidence to support their evaluations. This aids in confirming the cause of ground movement, ensuring the correct remedial action is undertaken, and preventing further property damage.
Insurance Claims
Many insurance providers require CCTV survey evidence when processing claims for drainage-related damage. A detailed inspection provides clear documentation necessary to support claims, pinpointing exactly where and why a fault has occurred. Our surveys include professional reports and footage that can be shared directly with insurers, helping to expedite the claims process. By providing accurate and transparent evidence, we reassure clients that their case is supported by reliable information.
Build-Over & Post-Construction Checks
Water companies and contractors frequently request CCTV survey evidence before and after construction work that affects drains. Exjet’s surveys verify whether the system is in good condition and show compliance with regulatory requirements. By providing clear footage and reports, homeowners can safeguard themselves against disputes and future liability.
What You Receive
With every CCTV drainage survey, you receive high-quality video footage of the inspected drains, supported by a detailed condition report that highlights any defects. We also provide drain mapping and connectivity information, along with clear recommendations for remedial work where required. This provides a comprehensive understanding of your drainage system and serves as essential evidence for property purchases, insurance claims, or maintenance planning.
