A CCTV drain survey can check your drains without digging them up. It sends a small robot camera down your pipes to see what is going on underground and transmits a live video to enable the engineer to spot any problems quickly and easily.
First inspection
A drainage engineer will arrive and look at your access points, such as manholes or drain covers. They will ask about any problems you have been experiencing, such as slow-draining sinks or bad smells, and whether they are in your home or garden.
Sending a camera in
Next, a waterproof camera is pushed into the drain using a flexible rod or a small moving crawler. A CCTV drain survey Birmingham by a company such as https://www.wilkinson-env.co.uk/drainage-services-cctv-surveys-midlands/cctv-drain-surveys/birmingham/ can see deep into your drainage system, even around bends, and clear footage of what is happening inside your pipes and underground will be recorded.
Live inspection
The engineer watches the live video feed on a monitor. They will look for blockages, cracks, tree roots, or parts of the pipe that might have collapsed or moved out of place. You can report a blocked drain to your local council, either online or by phone.
Recording and report
Once the inspection is finished, everything will be reviewed. You will receive a full report showing what the camera found, a map of your drains, photos of the problem, and advice on what to do next. It is a quick process and will show you where your drains are blocked underground without making any mess.
