CCTV Drain Surveys in Canary Wharf

CCTV drain surveys are useful in Canary Wharf for riser problems, commercial lease work and estate drain checks. Our HD camera shows the real condition of the pipe, and you get a written report. Managing agents, landlords and insurers can use that report. It also gives visual evidence that no other method can match.

How cctv drain surveys works in Canary Wharf

1

Book Your Survey

Contact us to arrange a convenient time. We bring survey equipment to your Canary Wharf property, and we still work around your plans.

2

Camera Insertion

We open the drain through a manhole or inspection chamber. Then we feed a waterproof camera along the whole drain run, while we watch the monitor.

3

Live Inspection

The camera sends live footage to a monitor while we move through the drain. As a result, we can spot root ingress, displaced joints, cracks and blockages as they appear.

4

Written Report

You receive a written report with footage and still images. It records each defect and sets out repair options. As a result, you know what to do next.

Common cctv drain surveys problems in Canary Wharf

  • ✓ Repeat high-rise stack blockages where you need to confirm which section is responsible
  • ✓ End-of-lease drain checks for commercial tenancies
  • ✓ Pre-purchase surveys for apartment buyers, particularly in older conversions
  • ✓ Estate drain mapping for managing agents planning maintenance
  • ✓ Insurance evidence for water damage, sewage backup or tidal surcharge

Our approach in Canary Wharf

We open the system at a manhole, inspection chamber or rooftop stack vent. Then we feed an HD camera along the full run. While we work, we log each defect by position and type. Afterwards, you receive a written report with footage and still images.

Local tip: If you are buying a Canary Wharf apartment, ask the managing agent about a CCTV survey of the shared riser and stack. Do it before exchange, since the cost is small. Shared drain defects found after completion can bring service charge costs.

CCTV Drain Surveys in Canary Wharf — FAQs

How much does a CCTV drain survey cost in Canary Wharf?

The cost depends on the size of the property and how complex the drains are. Larger or older drainage networks usually take longer to survey than small, modern ones. Request a quote online, because we can then talk you through the options.

Do I need a CCTV drain survey before buying a property in Canary Wharf?

We recommend a pre-purchase drain survey, especially for older buildings. Hidden drain defects can be costly to repair, yet a standard homebuyer survey does not usually cover them.
