CCTV Drain Surveys in Lewisham

Common cctv drain surveys problems in Lewisham

• ✓ Pre-purchase surveys on New Cross and Deptford terraces, where roots and displaced joints are common in older clay drains
• ✓ Slow-drainage checks in low-lying streets near Deptford Creek, where the Ravensbourne raises groundwater in storms
• ✓ Drain mapping for loft, basement and rear-extension work on Brockley and Forest Hill terraces, where original single runs were not built for modern loads
• ✓ Repeat blockage diagnosis in Sydenham near Mountsfield Park, where roots re-enter cleared drains within months
• ✓ Boundary questions on shared drain runs beneath New Cross and Deptford terraces, where responsibility for a connecting pipe is often unclear

Our approach in Lewisham

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: If you live near Deptford Creek or in a low-lying Lewisham street, book a CCTV survey before autumn and winter rain. That is when Ravensbourne-related sewer backup most often turns a slow gully into a backed-up system. A survey costs little, while a collapsed drain from unresolved damage can be very costly. Catching early signs on camera is the cheaper route.
