Types of CCTV Drainage Surveys

Two types of surveys are available for commercial and domestic drain survey.

Locating Drain and Sewer Blockages

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.

Drain and Sewer Inspections

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.
