We’d recommend this service for basic concerns, such as foul odours or rodent issues, or to give you peace of mind that your drains are functioning as they should.

Our fully comprehensive CCTV drain survey includes everything offered in the lite survey, as well as a full written report, copies of the still images captured and a CAD drawing which shows the connections of the drain system, pipe work type and the pipe diameter. We would also offer expert recommendations on any work your drainage would benefit from. See more package details here.

This type of inspection is recommended for home buyers, homeowners and businesses that need to produce documents for insurance companies, property developers or surveyors.
