Why Luton Properties Need a CCTV Drainage Survey
Out of sight should not mean out of mind, neglecting the drainage system hidden beneath your feet could be a costly mistake. A CCTV survey can pinpoint:
- Line & level of the your below grounde drainage assets
- Blockages from debris, scale build-up or foreign objects
- Structural faults such as cracks, joint separations or collapses
- Root ingress, especially around mature trees in Stockwood and Wardown Park
- Post-repair verification after new connections or emergency patches
- Pre-purchase checks to flag hidden issues before you buy
By detecting problems early with a precise video inspection you can save time and money by dealing with issues before they become a major problem. Pre Planned Maintenance (PPM) of your drainage system can ensure you stay ahead of any drainage related issues.
