In many cases it is necessary for a drain engineer to utilise a CCTV camera to determine what condition the sewer drain pipe work is in. This involves inserting a CCTV drainage camera into the blocked area. Video footage and photos taken by our cameras will reveal the precise condition of your drain. We carry out all CCTV drain inspections from 100mm diameter up to 1m, using push rod and crawler drain cameras.

Our CCTV drain surveys target the exact location of problems and minimise the amount ground works needed to save you time, money and disruption.

Drain surveys before house purchase

If you are seeking to purchase a property it is common to carry out a pre-purchase drainage survey. The costs involved with fixing a collapsed or damaged drain can be extensive so many mortgage providers are now asking buyers to carry out a survey before funds are released to buy a home.

At 1st Porter Call our engineers are fully trained and have many years of knowledge and experience of the drainage industry. Our vehicles carry all the equipment needed to deal with any blockage which includes high pressure water jets and CCTV drain surveying equipment.
