Professional CCTV drain inspection services for hidden problems
Most drainage problems lie deep underground, hidden from view without specialist equipment. When dealing with repeated blocked drains, suspected structural damage or property transactions, guesswork is not reliable. We use advanced waterproof HD CCTV drain inspection cameras to travel through your pipework and provide a clear real-time view of internal conditions. This allows us to accurately identify faults, blockages and structural issues without any excavation, giving a precise understanding of what is happening below the surface.
When a CCTV drain survey becomes essential
A CCTV drain survey is one of the most effective ways to diagnose hidden drainage issues. We recommend it for homebuyers and sellers as part of pre-purchase checks, especially where lenders or surveyors require a certified report. It is also vital for recurring blockages where standard clearance has failed, as it can reveal underlying causes such as collapses or root ingress.
We also use it to investigate damp, or subsidence concerns caused by leaking underground pipes. In addition, it is commonly required for build-over agreements to confirm that nearby construction work has not damaged existing drainage systems.
Frequently asked questions
What we detect inside your drainage system
Using advanced push rod and crawler camera technology, Severn Drainage Solutions can inspect complex drainage networks with precision. We identify issues such as tree root intrusion where roots enter joints and expand into severe blockages, as well as cracked, fractured or collapsed pipes caused by movement in the ground or ageing systems.
We also detect misaligned joints that restrict flow and trap debris, as well as heavy build-up of fat, grease, silt and scale deposits that gradually reduce pipe capacity and increase the risk of future blockages.
Full reporting, repairs and clear next steps
After every inspection, Severn Drainage Solutions provides a complete diagnostic package rather than just video footage. This includes HD recordings of the full survey, a detailed structural report covering pipe layout, materials and defects, and a clear action plan for any required work.
Where repairs are needed, we provide transparent recommendations and pricing for drainage repair services, including solutions such as high-pressure jetting or no-dig structural lining repairs. We aim to give a complete understanding of the drainage condition along with clear, practical next steps.
