CCTV Drain Surveys in Fareham
Whether you are buying a house, arguing with an insurer or just tired of the same blockage, a survey replaces guesswork with a recording of what is really down there.
CCTV Surveys for Fareham properties
Shared drainage causes a fair share of the calls we take from Fareham. Two or three properties on one run, a blockage between them, and nobody sure who pays. A camera survey settles it quickly and in writing.
A drain survey is simply a camera on a flexible rod pushed through your pipework while an engineer watches the screen. What makes it useful is the interpretation. Anyone can film a pipe; knowing whether that hairline mark is a surface scratch or the start of a fracture is the part you are paying for.
We run surveys across Fareham for three main reasons. Buyers and their solicitors want to know what they are taking on before contracts are exchanged. Insurers and warranty providers want evidence before they will consider a claim. And homeowners with a drain that keeps blocking want to stop treating the symptom.
You get the footage, a written report with the defects located and measured from a fixed point, and a straight recommendation. If the answer is "it is fine, clean it every few years", that is what the report will say. We would rather tell you that than sell you a repair you do not need.

Method
CCTV Surveys in Fareham, step by step
Access
We find and lift the chambers, work out the layout of the run and pick the best entry point for the camera.
Survey
The camera goes through the line with the distance logged, so every defect has a measurement against it rather than a vague description.
Trace
Where a defect needs digging to, we trace the pipe from the surface and mark its position and depth so nobody excavates blind.
Report
Written up the same day where we can, with the video, still images of each defect and a recommendation in language a solicitor can use.
