CCTV Drain Survey in Guildford by Alton Facility Services

Comprehensive CCTV Drain Surveys in Guildford

Guildford’s drainage systems range from historic clay pipes in older neighbourhoods to modern plastic pipework in newer developments. A CCTV drain survey is the most effective way to uncover hidden drainage issues and prevent costly failures. Our advanced cameras allow engineers to inspect the full internal condition of your drains with complete accuracy.

Whether you're experiencing slow drainage, repeated blockages or purchasing a property, our Guildford CCTV surveys deliver clear insights, HD evidence and actionable repair recommendations that help protect your investment and avoid unexpected disruption.

Why CCTV Drain Surveys Are Essential

Guildford’s varied terrain—including clay soils, wooded areas and sloped landscapes—can contribute to drainage issues. Common defects identified during our CCTV surveys include:

  • Cracked, fractured or collapsed drainage pipes
  • Tree roots entering pipe joints (particularly near Stoke Park & Burpham)
  • Scale, fat and debris narrowing pipe diameter
  • Displaced or misaligned joints causing leaks
  • Deterioration of older clay drainage systems

Our reports include HD screenshots, exact defect locations, pipe material details and recommended repair actions, giving you full visibility of the drainage system beneath your property.

Our CCTV Drain Survey Process

Our structured CCTV survey process ensures precise diagnostics, high-quality evidence and total clarity for property owners:

  1. Initial System Assessment & Access Setup: Silt, rubble and soil build-up due to sloped gradients
  2. High-Definition Camera Insertion: Poor-quality historical patch repairs
  3. Identification of Defects & Obstructions: Damaged or sunken chamber bases
  4. Drain Mapping & Location Tracking: Surface water drainage issues during heavy rainfall
  5. Condition Grading & Structural Analysis: Pipe deformation caused by soil movement
  6. Full Survey Report With HD Footage: Evidence of previous surcharge or flooding
  7. Recommended Repairs & Next Steps: Unmapped drainage layouts requiring accurate tracing

Every Guildford drainage survey includes HD imagery, detailed narratives, precise defect locations and professional repair guidance.

CCTV Drain Surveys – Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about CCTV drain inspections, reports and when surveys are recommended.

A CCTV drain survey is an inspection of your drain or sewer using a high-definition camera.

It allows us to diagnose blockages, identify defects such as cracks or root ingress, confirm pipe condition and recommend the right repair or maintenance solution.

A CCTV survey is recommended for recurring blockages, slow drainage, bad smells, flooding or suspected damage.

It is also useful for property purchases, landlord inspections, commercial sites and planned maintenance decisions.

A CCTV survey report typically includes findings from the inspection, defect locations where possible, and supporting images or video.

Depending on the site, the report may also include drain mapping and commentary on overall pipe condition with practical recommendations.

Sometimes. If the pipe is heavily silted or blocked, cleaning such as high-pressure water jetting may be recommended first.

This ensures the camera has a clear view and that the survey findings are accurate and reliable.

Survey time depends on the size and complexity of the drainage system and the level of site access.

Smaller domestic surveys may be completed quickly, while larger commercial systems can take longer. We’ll advise expected times once we understand the site.

Yes, where access allows. CCTV surveys can support drain tracing and mapping to help identify routes, connection points and problem areas.

This information is useful for maintenance planning, repairs and understanding how your drainage system is laid out.
