When & Why You Need a CCTV Drainage Survey

So, when exactly should you book a CCTV drainage survey?

Here are some of the most common triggers:

  • Buying a property? Don’t let dodgy drains become your problem. We’ll give you a clear picture before you sign anything.
  • Slow drains or recurring blockages? These are often signs of deeper problems like cracks, sags or root intrusion.
  • Planning an extension or renovation? You’ll want to know exactly where your drains run and whether they can handle the extra load.
  • Subsidence or damp issues? Hidden drainage leaks can be the silent culprit.
  • Council or insurance requests? Our survey reports are fully compliant and professionally formatted for submission.

In a coastal town like Hastings, with its mix of historic properties and newer builds, you’d be surprised how often ageing pipework is the root cause of surface-level issues.

Terrain Surveys Ltd have carried out a first class service of locating a drain pipe under my garden. Particular praise must go to Gareth and Euan, the onsite operatives who performed a first class survey on an extremely hot day. Consideration and care was exercised in my and my neighbours garden. Praise must also go to Sue in the office. All requests and questions were quickly responded to. Thank you.
