Drain Inspection (CCTV Camera)
Drain Inspection (CCTV Camera)
By Imperial Appliances
Not every drain problem is visible from the surface. Drain inspection (CCTV camera) services use waterproof camera equipment to see exactly what's happening inside your pipes — identifying blockages, cracks, root intrusion, and misalignments without any guesswork or unnecessary digging.
What Is CCTV Drain Inspection?
Drain inspection (CCTV camera) involves feeding a flexible, waterproof camera through a drain or sewer line to capture real-time video footage of the pipe's interior condition. This allows technicians to pinpoint the exact location and nature of a problem, whether it's a partial blockage, a cracked joint, or invasive tree roots, before recommending a repair approach.
When You Need Drain Inspection (CCTV Camera)
CCTV drain inspection is commonly requested for:
- Recurring clogs that keep coming back despite cleaning
- Slow drainage with no obvious external cause
- Suspected root intrusion in older properties with nearby trees
- Pre-purchase property inspections to check drain and sewer condition
- Confirming the results of a repair or drain cleaning job
- Locating the exact position of a pipe before excavation work
The CCTV Drain Inspection Process
Our approach to drain inspection (CCTV camera) includes:
- Access point setup — identifying the best entry point, usually a cleanout or accessible drain opening.
- Camera insertion — a flexible camera is fed through the line while transmitting live video.
- Real-time assessment — technicians observe pipe condition, noting blockages, cracks, offsets, or root intrusion.
- Location marking — a built-in locator pinpoints the exact position and depth of any problem found.
- Recording and reporting — footage and findings are documented for reference and repair planning.
- Recommendation — a clear next-step plan, whether that's cleaning, spot repair, or full line replacement.
