CCTV Drain Surveys in Teesside
Advanced CCTV drain inspections to accurately diagnose problems, map drainage systems, and provide detailed reports for home buyers.
See Inside Your Drains with CCTV Technology
Drainage problems often occur underground, making them difficult to diagnose without the right equipment. At Teesside Drainage, we use advanced CCTV camera technology to inspect the condition of your pipes without the need for excavation. This allows us to identify the exact cause and location of any issue accurately.
Whether you are investigating a recurring blockage, planning an extension, or buying a new home, a CCTV drain survey provides the detailed information you need to make informed decisions.
When Do You Need a CCTV Survey?
- Persistent Blockages: If your drains keep blocking, a survey can reveal underlying issues like roots, displaced joints, or scale buildup.
- Home Buyer Surveys: Before purchasing a property, it's crucial to check the drainage system to avoid inheriting expensive repair bills.
- Pre-Build Surveys: If you are planning an extension, you need to know the location and condition of existing drains to comply with building regulations.
- Rat Investigations: We can identify how rodents are entering your property through the drainage system.
- Subsidence Investigation: To check if leaking drains are causing ground movement.
What Our Survey Includes
Our comprehensive CCTV survey service includes:
- High-Quality Footage: We use high-resolution cameras to capture clear video of the pipe interior.

Home Buyer Drain Surveys
Buying a home is a significant investment. Standard surveyor reports often do not cover underground drainage. A dedicated CCTV drain survey can save you thousands of pounds by identifying hidden problems before you exchange contracts. We provide fast turnaround reports to keep your purchase moving smoothly.
State-of-the-Art Equipment
We invest in the latest camera technology, including push-rod cameras for smaller domestic pipes and crawler units for larger commercial sewers. Our equipment allows us to survey pipes of all sizes and navigate bends and junctions with ease.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a CCTV drain survey take?
A typical domestic survey takes between 1 to 2 hours, depending on the size of the property and the complexity of the drainage system.
Do I get a copy of the recording?
Yes, we provide a digital copy of the video footage along with the written report.
Will the survey cause any mess?
No, the process is clean and non-intrusive. We access the drains through existing manholes or inspection chambers.
Can you survey drains that are currently blocked?
The camera needs a clear view, so if the drain is blocked, we will need to unblock and clean it first using high-pressure water jetting before carrying out the survey.
