CCTV Drain Surveys in Christchurch: Everything You Need to Know

Why Book a CCTV Drain Survey in Christchurch?

If you’re dealing with recurring drain problems in Christchurch — like bad smells, slow draining sinks, or blockages that keep coming back — the cause may be deeper underground.

A CCTV drain survey is the quickest, most reliable way to inspect your drains without digging up your garden or driveway. It’s a service trusted by homeowners, landlords, and businesses across Christchurch and Dorset.

What is a CCTV Drain Survey?

A CCTV drain survey uses a small, waterproof camera to travel through your drainage system. The live video feed shows exactly what’s happening inside your pipes, helping engineers:

• Identify cracks, leaks, or collapsed pipes

• Spot tree root ingress or blockages

• Confirm the overall condition of your drains

• Recommend the best repair, such as jetting or drain relining

How a CCTV Drain Survey Works (Step by Step)

1. Accessing your drains – via manholes or inspection chambers.

2. Camera insertion – a flexible CCTV camera is guided through the pipe.

3. Live inspection – engineers monitor the footage to identify defects.

4. Recording & reporting – issues are documented with images and video.

5. Solutions – recommendations may include unblocking, jetting, or relining.
