Drain Survey Process
Site Assessment and Access Check
Before any equipment goes in the ground, our engineer visits the site to understand the drainage layout, identify the best entry points and make sure everything is safe to proceed.
Camera Inspection
Our fully waterproof push-rod camera is fed into the drain via the nearest manhole or access chamber. It travels the full length of the pipe, giving us a real-time view of everything inside.
Data Capture and Defect Logging
Every inch of footage is recorded as we go. Our engineer flags and logs each issue spotted — from hairline cracks and root intrusion to collapsed sections, joint displacement and heavy silt accumulation.
Measurement and Mapping
As the camera moves through the system, we record exact distances from the entry point. This gives us a precise location for every defect found, so there's no guesswork when it comes to any follow-up repair work.
Report Creation
Once the survey is complete, we put together a detailed PDF report. This includes still images from the footage, a drainage map of the system and our written assessment — everything you need for insurance, compliance or contractor briefings.
Consultation and Next Steps
We take you through the report findings in plain English and give you our honest recommendation on what needs to happen next — whether that's a high-pressure jet clean, a patch repair, relining or a full excavation.
