Homebuyer and CCTV Drain Surveys in Surrey

A standard house survey doesn't usually look inside the drains. A CCTV drain survey does. Whether you're buying a property or dealing with repeat blockages, call AB Drainworks on 01483 323204 or 07917 726634 (mobile and WhatsApp) to book a camera survey.

Warning Signs

When a survey is worth it

A CCTV drain survey is worth booking if:

Buying a home

Repeat blockages

Smells

Roots or cracks

You're buying a house, especially an older property or one with pitch fibre pipes

Drains keep blocking even after they've been cleared

There are bad smells, gurgling or slow-draining sinks

You suspect roots, cracks or a collapsed section, or you want to see the problem before agreeing to a repair

What We Do

What we do

We send a small camera through the drains to show what's going on inside the pipe: cracks, displaced joints, root ingress, blockages, or pitch fibre that has deformed. You see the problem for yourself before any repair is agreed.

Your options

Call or WhatsApp us with the address and why you need the survey.

We lift the access points and run the camera through the drain runs.

We talk you through what we found and what, if anything, needs doing.

If work is needed, we explain the options, such as jetting, cutting out roots with a mechanical root cutter, relining or repair, so you can make an informed decision. For buyers, the findings give you a clearer picture of the drains before you commit.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Does a normal house survey check the drains?

Can you survey a property I don't own yet?

Do you carry out the repairs as well?

Usually not in detail. A CCTV survey looks inside the pipes themselves.

Yes, as long as the seller or agent agrees to give access.

That's one of the main reasons people book one. The camera shows roots, cracks, displaced joints or build-up so the real cause can be fixed.

Can a survey find what's causing repeat blockages?

Yes. We carry out drain repairs, relining and pitch fibre replacement.
