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 Malpas property promptly, with urgent jobs prioritised.

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.

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.

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 Malpas
We feed a camera along the pipe and record it. Then we go through the footage with you. Afterwards, we list any repairs and what they involve.
