Comprehensive CCTV Drain Surveys: See the Unseen

Drainage issues are rarely just on the surface. When you are experiencing persistent problems or preparing to make a major property investment, guessing isn’t good enough. At TAB Drainage, we utilize state-of-the-art CCTV drain survey technology to take the guesswork out of drainage, providing you with crystal-clear insights into the condition of your underground pipework.

Our Cutting-Edge Technology

We invest in the latest industry-leading diagnostic equipment to ensure pinpoint accuracy. Our high-definition, waterproof push-rod and crawler cameras are designed to navigate even the most complex drainage networks. Complete with self-leveling lenses and precise sonar-tracing capabilities, our equipment allows us to locate, identify, and assess any structural defects, blockages, or scale build-up with incredible detail, all without turning a single spade of soil.

Why Would You Need a Drain Survey?

There are several scenarios where a CCTV drain survey is not just helpful, but absolutely essential:

• Home Buyer Surveys: Never buy a house without checking the drains first. A pre-purchase drain survey is critical for prospective buyers to ensure they aren't inheriting costly, hidden underground issues like collapsed pipes or severe root ingress.

• Recurring Blockages: If you find yourself repeatedly unblocking the same drain, a survey will reveal the underlying structural root cause so we can fix it permanently.

• Pest and Rodent Infestations: Rats frequently use compromised drainage systems to enter properties. We can identify the exact entry points and pipe defects allowing them in.

• Subsidence and Damp: Leaking or collapsed drains can wash away sub-soil, leading to damp patches or even structural subsidence in your property.

• Build-Over Agreements: If you are planning an extension or new build, water authorities often require a survey to map out the drainage network before and after construction.

What You Receive: Total Transparency

Following your survey, we provide a complete, transparent, and easy-to-understand breakdown of our findings. You will receive:

• Fully Labelled Recorded Footage: A high-quality video file of the entire inspection, clearly showing the condition of your pipes.

• A Comprehensive Written Report: A detailed, professional breakdown of our findings, grading the condition of your network and noting any defects.

• An Accurate Site Plan: A clear map of your property’s drainage layout, identifying manholes, flow directions, and pipe locations.

• Expert Recommendations: If we discover any issues, we provide honest, professional recommendations for remedial works (such as patch lining, root cutting, or excavation) along with a clear, no-obligation quote to fix the problem permanently.
