How cctv drain surveys works in Hawarden
1
Book Your Survey
First, contact us to arrange a time that suits you. You need not prepare anything, because our kit is self-contained. We arrive at your Hawarden property promptly, with urgent jobs prioritised.
2
Camera Insertion
Next, we open the drains through manholes or inspection chambers. For example, a garden chamber is a common way in. Then we feed a waterproof camera along the pipe.
3
Live Inspection
The camera sends live footage to a monitor. While it moves, we note each fault. As a result, we can spot cracks, roots, loose joints and blockages as we go.
4
Detailed Report
Finally, you get a written report with annotated screenshots. Since you keep it, you can share it with a buyer or an insurer. It sums up the pipe condition and suggests any repairs or upkeep.
Our approach in Hawarden
We lower a waterproof camera into the drain. We record the whole run as we go. Then we talk you through the footage and list any work that is needed.
Local tip: Planning an extension in Hawarden? Survey first, so the builders know where the drains run. Because older pipes can hide cracks, a survey is worth the small cost.

Do I need a CCTV drain survey before buying a property in Hawarden?
