How It Works
Get in Touch
Call us or send a quick enquiry. Let us know the property type, any symptoms you’ve noticed, and whether the survey is for a purchase, maintenance, or insurance matter.
On-Site Inspection
We access the drainage system via an inspection chamber or suitable entry point. The HD camera is fed through the pipes, recording the condition of each section.
Report & Recommendations
You receive a clear, written report with imagery and a summary of what was found. If repairs are needed, the report outlines your options.
Who This Service Is For
Home Buyers
If you’re buying a property in Otley, a pre-purchase drain survey can reveal hidden drainage issues before you exchange. Problems such as cracked pipes or root ingress won’t show up in a standard building survey.
Homeowners
Recurring blockages, slow-draining sinks, or bad smells often point to a deeper issue. A camera survey pinpoints the cause so you can fix the right problem — not just treat the symptoms.
Landlords & Letting Agents
Proactive drainage checks help avoid emergency callouts and tenant complaints. A survey report also provides documentation for compliance and maintenance records.
Businesses & Commercial Properties
Commercial kitchens, car parks, and larger premises often have more complex drainage. A CCTV survey identifies build-up, structural wear, or grease trap issues before they cause disruption.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you serve Otley for drain surveys?
Yes. Otley is part of our service area. Call or send an enquiry to check availability.
Are older properties in Otley more likely to have drainage issues?
Older properties with clay pipe drainage can be more susceptible to root ingress and joint displacement, making a CCTV survey particularly valuable.
What happens if the camera finds a problem?
The report will detail the issue — its location, severity, and recommended next steps. You can then get quotes from drainage contractors with confidence.
Is the survey messy or disruptive?
No. The camera enters through an existing manhole or inspection chamber. There's no digging and minimal disruption.
