CCTV Drain Surveys in Exeter
Seeing what's happening inside your Exeter drains has never been easier. Our CCTV surveys give clear footage of your pipes' condition, so we can spot problems before they turn into emergencies. This helps most with older homes that have Victorian-era drains.
How cctv drain surveys works in Exeter
1
Book Your Survey
Contact us to book a time that suits you. Your engineer brings all the survey gear to your Exeter property, so there's nothing for you to set up.
2
Camera Insertion
Your engineer reaches the drains through manholes or inspection points. A waterproof camera then runs the full length of the pipe, since that's the only way to see inside without digging.
3
Live Inspection
The camera sends live pictures to a screen. Your engineer can spot cracks, roots, and moved joints as they show up, and talks you through anything that matters.
4
Detailed Report
You get a written report with photos from the footage and clear advice on any repairs needed. You can also ask to keep a copy of the footage.
Our approach in Exeter
Your engineer puts a HD camera into your drains. It records footage that clearly shows the pipes' condition. From there, you get a full report with what we found, our advice, and marked-up photos. Local tip: Buying an older home in Heavitree or St Thomas? A pre-purchase CCTV survey can show up hidden drainage faults. That could save you thousands in repair costs later, since problems cost far more once they're buried underground.
