How cctv drain surveys works in Saltney
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 Saltney 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 Saltney
We feed a waterproof camera through an access point. As it moves, we record the pipe condition. Afterwards, we go through the footage with you and say what, if anything, needs doing.
Local tip: Buying in Saltney? A survey before you complete can show hidden pipe faults, which a standard homebuyer survey does not cover. Since the footage is recorded, you can keep it for later.

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