What is a CCTV drain survey?

A non-invasive inspection with a specialist camera fed into the system. It gives a live HD feed of cracks, blockages, root ingress or collapsed sections so we can fix the right thing first time.

Drain locating (sonde tracking)

Not sure where a drain runs? We trace the camera head with electronic locators to find exact position and depth.

  • Finds hidden manholes
