We believe that knowledge is key when it comes to maintaining a healthy drainage system. One of the most effective tools in our arsenal for diagnosing drainage problems is CCTV drain surveying equipment. This advanced technology allows us to inspect the interior of your drainage pipes without invasive excavation, enabling us to identify a range of common issues. In this blog post, we’ll discuss how CCTV drain surveying works, the types of problems it can detect, and the benefits it offers to property owners in Bournemouth.

What is CCTV Drain Surveying?

CCTV drain surveying involves the use of high-definition cameras mounted on flexible rods that are inserted into your drainage system. These cameras provide real-time video footage of the inside of your pipes, allowing our technicians to visually inspect the condition of your drainage system. The result is a detailed assessment that can highlight problems that are not easily detectable with traditional inspection methods.

Common Problems Detected by CCTV Drain Surveys

  1. Root Intrusions:
    One of the most common issues that CCTV surveys can detect is the presence of tree roots infiltrating your drainage pipes. Roots seek out moisture and can crack through pipe joints, causing blockages and significant damage. Our camera technology allows us to identify these intrusions accurately and recommend the appropriate course of action.
  2. Fat and Grease Buildup:
    Over time, fats, oils, and grease can accumulate within your drainage system, leading to reduced flow and eventual blockages. During a CCTV survey, we can spot these buildups early, helping you avoid serious drainage issues and costly repairs down the line.
  3. Collapsed Pipes:
    Structural failures, such as collapsed or compromised pipes, can lead to severe drainage problems. CCTV drain surveys allow us to visually assess the integrity of your pipes to determine if a collapse has occurred. Identifying these issues early can save you time and money on extensive repairs.
  4. Debris and Foreign Objects:
    Blockages can also result from debris, such as leaves, stones, or even foreign objects accidentally flushed down the toilet. Our CCTV equipment can locate and identify these blockages, allowing for quick and effective removal.
  5. Corrosion and Deterioration:
    Aging pipes can become corroded and deteriorate over time. A CCTV survey can help identify signs of wear and tear, highlighting areas that may require repair or replacement before they result in more serious issues.

The Benefits of Using CCTV Drain Surveying

  • Non-Intrusive Inspection: CCTV drain surveys provide a non-invasive way to inspect the condition of your pipes, saving time and avoiding the inconvenience of excavation.
  • Accurate Diagnosis: The ability to visually inspect your drainage system allows for precise identification of issues, leading to more effective repair solutions.
  • Preventative Maintenance: Regular CCTV surveys can help detect potential problems before they escalate, allowing for early intervention and avoiding costly repairs.
  • Comprehensive Reporting: At the end of the survey, we provide a detailed report, including video footage, findings, and recommendations for necessary repairs. This transparency helps you understand the condition of your drainage system thoroughly.
