Professional CCTV Drain Survey Services
When drainage problems are persistent, hidden or difficult to diagnose, a CCTV drain survey provides clear answers. Bosworth Drainage offers professional CCTV drain survey services for domestic and commercial customers across Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire and the surrounding towns and villages between the two counties. Using specialist camera equipment, we inspect drainage systems internally to identify faults accurately and recommend the most appropriate solutions.
CCTV drain surveys remove guesswork from drainage investigations. Whether you are experiencing recurring blockages, slow drainage or require a survey for property or insurance purposes, our experienced team delivers detailed inspections with clear, practical advice.
A CCTV drain survey involves inserting a high-resolution camera into the drainage system to inspect the internal condition of pipes. The camera transmits live footage to the operator, allowing detailed examination of the pipework without the need for excavation or disruption.
This process enables us to identify issues such as blockages, cracks, collapsed sections, displaced joints and root ingress. CCTV drain surveys are particularly valuable where drainage problems are ongoing, as they allow us to pinpoint the exact cause and location of the issue.
At Bosworth Drainage, we use CCTV surveys to provide accurate diagnostics and support informed decision-making, helping avoid unnecessary repairs or repeat call-outs.
What Is a
CCTV Drain Survey?
When Is a CCTV Drain Survey Needed?
CCTV drain surveys are recommended in a range of situations where drainage issues cannot be resolved through standard cleaning or unblocking alone.
Common reasons to arrange a CCTV drain survey include:
Recurring blocked drains
Repeated blockages may indicate underlying structural issues or persistent obstructions.
Slow drainage with no obvious cause
Gradual drainage problems can be caused by damaged or misaligned pipework.
Suspected root ingress or pipe damage
Tree roots and ground movement can compromise underground drainage systems.
Property purchases or pre-sale inspections
Drain surveys provide reassurance and highlight potential issues before buying or selling.
Insurance or repair investigations
CCTV evidence can support insurance claims or repair planning.
Identifying problems early helps prevent escalation and reduces the risk of costly repairs.

Common Drainage Issues Identified by CCTV Surveys
CCTV drain surveys allow us to identify a wide range of drainage issues that may not be visible from the surface.
Issues commonly identified include:
Cracked or fractured pipes
Damage caused by age, ground movement or pressure can allow leaks and debris ingress.
Displaced or collapsed sections
Structural failure can restrict flow and lead to repeated blockages or flooding.
Tree root ingress
Roots entering pipework can cause severe obstructions and ongoing damage.
Build-up of debris or scale
Accumulated materials can restrict flow and reduce system performance.
Poor installation or pipe misalignment
Incorrect gradients or jointing issues can impact drainage efficiency.
Once identified, we explain the findings clearly and outline suitable repair or maintenance options.
