CCTV Drain Surveys — frequently asked questions

What does a CCTV drain survey show?

The camera reveals the internal condition of your pipework in high definition: blockages, cracks, root intrusion, collapsed sections, displaced joints, scale buildup, and any incorrect connections. You receive the recorded footage along with a written report that maps the pipe routes and grades every defect by severity.

Do I need a drain survey before buying a house?

We strongly recommend it, especially for older Chester properties. Standard homebuyer surveys do not cover underground drainage, yet drain repairs can cost thousands of pounds. A pre-purchase survey gives you the evidence to negotiate a price reduction, request repairs before completion, or walk away from a money pit. Many of our Chester customers have recouped the survey fee several times over through successful price negotiations.

How long does a CCTV drain survey take?

A typical residential survey covering all accessible drain runs takes between one and two hours. Larger properties, or those with extensive external drainage and multiple access points, may require a little longer. You will receive the full report and footage within twenty-four hours.

Do you charge a call-out fee?

No. When you contact Chester Plumber Near Me, you will never be asked to pay a call-out fee. We quote a fixed price for the work required and that is the only amount you pay, regardless of whether the job takes place during the day, at night, or over a weekend.
