CCTV Drain Surveys in Ealing

We carry out CCTV drain surveys for Ealing property purchases, blockage diagnosis and pre-repair checks. We cover Acton, West Ealing, Hanwell, Northolt, Greenford and Southall. Drains range from Victorian clay in Acton to 1930s clay in the west. Low-lying stretches near the River Brent add a flooding risk. A visual check will never show this, so a camera survey is the reliable way to see the real condition.

How cctv drain surveys works in Ealing

1

Book Your Survey

Contact us to arrange a convenient time. We bring survey equipment to your Ealing 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 Ealing

  • ✓ Pre-purchase surveys on Acton's Victorian terraces, where roots from street trees often enter older drains
  • ✓ Repeat blockage call-outs in Edwardian semis near Ealing Common and Walpole Park, where rodding clears the symptom but not the joint fault
  • ✓ Flood-risk drain checks near the River Brent and the Grand Union Canal, where high groundwater can cause repeat backup
  • ✓ Drain mapping ahead of loft, side-return and rear-extension projects on 1930s semis in Northolt and Greenford
  • ✓ Boundary questions on shared drain runs along the Uxbridge Road corridor, where footage helps show who is liable

Our approach in Ealing

We open the drain at a manhole, inspection chamber or rodding eye. Then we feed an HD waterproof camera along the run from your property to the public sewer. While the camera moves, we log every defect by position and severity. Afterwards, you receive a written report with footage, still images and repair advice.

Local tip: Drain age varies from street to street in Ealing. Do not assume a 1930s semi in Greenford has the same risk as a Victorian terrace in Acton. Get a survey before you rely on guesses. If you are buying near the Brent floodplain, or a pre-1920 property, a fuller survey is worth it. It can catch root damage or joint failure before it becomes a costly repair.

CCTV Drain Surveys in Ealing — FAQs

How much does a CCTV drain survey cost in Ealing?

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 Ealing?

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.
