Engineers, Not Just Operators

There’s a big difference between hiring a drainage company… and hiring us.

Our team includes trained specialists who interpret drainage footage correctly — spotting early-stage problems others miss and can take it to the next level by accurately mapping the sub-surface infrastructure. You’ll always get clear advice, not just a memory stick and a shrug.

Here’s what happens when you book a drainage survey with us in Watford:

1. Site brief

We confirm what you need (pre-purchase, insurance, defects etc.).

2. Set up and access

We handle manhole covers, traffic management and access points.

3. Camera survey

Our high-res crawler cameras capture every detail inside your drains.

4. Live assessment

We spot blockages, collapses or root ingress in real-time.

5. Delivery

You get a clear, concise report — typically within 48 hours.

Everything’s handled by our in-house team. No subcontractors. No guesswork.

Our drainage reports are designed to make life easy for homeowners, contractors and insurers.

Here’s what you get:

• Colour video footage (digitally delivered)
• Still images of any faults or obstructions
• Precise defect locations in chainage/metres
• Condition grading and defect coding to national standards
• Plan of drainage layout with node references
• Clear recommendations for any next steps

It’s a full diagnostic — not just a pretty video.
