Trusted Team

You’ll work with seasoned surveyors, not clueless contractors.

Our team is made up of trained pros who’ve passed rigorous assessments in defect classification and CCTV data interpretation. We invest heavily in upskilling — so when tech evolves, we’re already on it.

And if you’ve got questions? We’re not the “drop a report and disappear” type. We talk you through it, plain and simple.

We keep it slick. Here’s how we typically roll:

1. Initial Consultation

We’ll ask a few key questions to understand the issue (or your survey goals). Then we schedule your visit — fast.

2. On-Site Setup

Our kit includes robotic crawlers, pan-and-tilt HD cameras and sonar tech (if needed). No mess. No disruption.

3. Live Footage Inspection

We guide the camera through your pipes, capturing real-time footage and pinpointing defects, debris or damage.

4. Data Analysis

We don’t just film it — we code and assess every section according to industry standards.

5. Reporting & Recommendations

You’ll get a crystal-clear report and video files within 48 hours. We highlight the priority issues and what to do next.

Every survey report is built to be actionable and insurer-ready.

You’ll get:

• Full-colour video footage
• Annotated drainage maps
• Detailed defect coding
• High-res still images with chainage references
• A summary of drainage condition, with repair recommendations if needed
