Blocked drains are a very unpleasant experience for anyone. It’s a sort of nightmare that can bring your entire routine to an abrupt halt. Detecting the problem and solving it on time is crucial; otherwise, it can be a lot worse.

Bad Smell: The buildup of organic waste and debris in sewer pipes might result in the discharge of gases, resulting in a bad smell.
Gurgling Noise: Gurgling sound from drains, particularly after flushing a toilet or using a washbasin, can indicate a clog.
Raised Water Level: A clogged drain can cause water to build and back up in sinks, showers, and toilets.
Slow Water Drainage: Slow drainage shows in water collecting around your feet during a shower or difficulty washing away soap residue.

Two types of surveys are available for commercial and domestic drain survey.
The primary use of CCTV drainage cameras is to find the cause and location of blockages and evaluate the best way to clean them up. For evidence, footage of before and after can be recorded to show that work is done and the pipe is all cleaned and in optimal condition.
The survey can also be done to carry out quick and straightforward drain and sewer inspections or check the conditions of the drains. This may not include recording complete CCTV drainage survey data and, therefore, accelerates the inspection process and saves costs.
Here is a list of tools that are used in drain inspection in Christchurch (BH23):
