CCTV drain surveys for faults, purchases and projects

AFS combines camera inspection with practical drainage experience, from rapid fault diagnosis to mapped condition evidence and written reports.

AFS provides CCTV drain surveys for homeowners, buyers, landlords, commercial property teams, estates, insurers, developers and contractors across Hampshire, Surrey, West Sussex and surrounding areas.

Our drain cameras help locate recurring blockages, root ingress, cracked or collapsed pipes, displaced joints, poor falls, damaged chambers and other hidden drainage faults without unnecessary excavation.

The agreed scope can include camera footage, drainage layout observations, defect locations, condition evidence and recommendations for cleaning, repair, relining, excavation or further investigation.

Tell us why the survey is needed. A quick fault inspection, pre-purchase survey, commercial condition report, repair survey and post-work verification survey require different coverage and reporting.

Pre-purchase surveys

Drain condition evidence for buyers before exchange or completion.

Commercial condition reports

Defined survey coverage for managed sites, maintenance and project planning.

Repair and verification surveys

Evidence to plan repairs or confirm the condition after cleaning or completed work.

How a drain condition survey works

Define the purpose

Provide the address, reason for the survey, deadline, known access and any plans or previous reports.

Inspect the drainage

The agreed runs and access points are inspected, with defects and relevant layout information recorded.

Report and recommend

We provide the agreed evidence and explain whether cleaning, monitoring, repair, relining or further investigation is appropriate.

Choosing the right drain survey

The reporting requirement should be agreed before attendance.

A home-buyer may need evidence of hidden liabilities before purchase. A facilities manager may need a condition record for maintenance planning, while a contractor may need drainage layout and defect information before construction work.

AFS will confirm the intended coverage, access assumptions and deliverables so the survey answers the decision you need to make.

Common survey purposes

  • Pre-purchase due diligence
  • Commercial asset condition
  • Recurring drainage problems
  • Repair design and quotation
  • Drainage mapping support
  • Post-cleaning or post-repair verification

Drain Survey FAQs

What does a CCTV drain survey include?

The scope can range from camera fault diagnosis to a documented condition survey with footage, defect locations, drainage observations and written recommendations. AFS confirms the required coverage and report before attendance.

Should I get a drain survey before buying a house?

A survey can identify hidden blockages, damaged pipework, root ingress, poor falls and repair liabilities that may not be visible during a normal building inspection. The appropriate scope depends on the property and purchase risk.

How much does a drain condition survey cost?

The cost depends on the survey purpose, drainage size, access, number of runs, whether cleaning is required and the level of mapping, footage and written reporting. Send the address and required deliverables for a scope-based quotation.

How long does a drain survey report take?

Timing depends on the size of the survey and agreed report format. Tell AFS about purchase, insurance or project deadlines before booking so availability and delivery expectations can be confirmed.

Can AFS complete repairs identified by the survey?

Yes. Where suitable, AFS can quote for drain cleaning, patch repair, structural relining, excavation or related drainage work after the findings have been reviewed.
