Expert CCTV Drain Surveys in Exeter & East Devon
Fast, accurate drain inspections for homeowners, homebuyers, and commercial clients.

We believe in keeping things simple, transparent, and completely jargon-free. When you book us for a drain survey, we arrive fully equipped to assess, diagnose, and resolve the issue with minimal disruption to your day.First, we conduct an initial visual assessment of the affected manholes and gullies. If the pipe is heavily blocked, we may use high-pressure water jetting or electro-mechanical cleaning to clear the line, ensuring the camera has an unobstructed view. Next, we carefully feed our state-of-the-art waterproof CCTV cameras into the drainage system. This equipment sends a live, high-resolution feed directly to our monitor above ground, allowing us to spot the exact location of any blockages, collapsed sections, or scale build-up.Once the inspection is complete, we provide you with a comprehensive explanation of our findings. For those who require formal documentation, we can generate industry-standard Wincan reports that detail the condition of your drains, complete with video footage and a clear, no-obligation quote for any necessary repairs.

Many property owners wait until a pipe completely collapses or sewage backs up into their home before calling a professional. However, a proactive drain survey is one of the most cost-effective ways to protect your property and your wallet. By identifying minor defects early, we can help prevent them from escalating into major structural emergencies.A thorough survey quickly pinpoints the root cause of slow-draining sinks, chronic bad odours, and regular blockages, meaning we can fix the problem permanently rather than just applying a temporary quick fix. Furthermore, identifying leaking drains early is crucial for preventing serious issues like soil washout and subsidence, which can threaten the structural integrity of your home.If you are in the process of purchasing a new home in Exeter, a pre-purchase survey is absolutely essential. We regularly provide detailed homebuyer drain reports to ensure you do not inherit someone else's expensive drainage problems. Having this information upfront can even help you renegotiate the property price if significant repair work is required.

Exeter and its surrounding villages are home to a beautiful mix of modern developments and historic properties. Understanding the local infrastructure is crucial when diagnosing drainage faults. Many older homes in areas like St Leonard's, Heavitree, and historic parts of Clyst Heath still rely on Victorian clay drainage pipes. These older systems are highly susceptible to root ingress and ground movement. We take exceptional care when surveying these delicate pipes, ensuring our methods are safe and effective for older infrastructure.For commercial clients, especially those operating in nearby industrial hubs like Marsh Barton and Sowton, staying compliant with local regulations is paramount. We help local businesses meet their environmental health obligations by inspecting commercial drains, verifying the condition of grease traps, and ensuring wastewater is flowing correctly without risking contamination. Whether it is ensuring compliance with UK Building Regulations for a new extension or meeting Environment Agency general binding rules for off-mains systems, our local knowledge guarantees your drainage is legally sound.
