Camera inspection helps turn a recurring drainage complaint into a more specific finding. A view inside an accessible line can show obstructions, root entry or changes in pipe alignment that are hidden from the surface.
What the camera can establish
The pipe must have a usable entry point and enough clearance for the camera. Murky water and heavy deposits can limit visibility, so clearing may be recommended first. The inspection covers the accessible section rather than guaranteeing that every part of the drainage network has been seen.
Where this service can help
- Recurring drain blockages
- Suspected roots, cracks or damaged joints
- Information to guide targeted drainage repairs
Preparing for a business premises visit
For a business property, advise which fixtures are in regular use and who can make decisions about repairs. Access to service areas and any limits on interruptions can be discussed when arranging attendance.
Using existing footage
Earlier footage can help compare a known section with its present condition. Tell us when it was recorded and whether any clearing or repairs have taken place since, as the older view may no longer reflect the line.
Access in shared buildings
If the affected pipe or connection serves more than one dwelling, the responsible building contact may need to arrange access. Tell us which areas you control and which require permission before the visit is booked.
Discussing the next step
Provide previous drain footage or reports if available. Identify any concealed or covered inspection openings and organise access to areas controlled by a neighbour or building manager where required.
