CCTV Drainage Surveys in Tunbridge Wells

Need drainage certainty before starting groundworks or progressing a property transaction? Our CCTV drainage surveys in Tunbridge Wells provide clear, professional insight into underground drainage systems — without excavation or disruption.

We use HD crawler cameras to inspect pipe condition and record key data including invert levels, diameter, flow direction, discharge type and structural integrity. Ideal for both large-scale developments and individual properties.

Your survey includes:

  • A structured PDF report with mapped observations and defect grading
  • HD video footage and stills
  • A connectivity sketch showing drainage runs and access points
  • Optional CAD outputs when combined with topographical or measured building surveys

Whether you’re applying for a build-over agreement, managing legacy assets, or buying a home — we deliver drainage clarity across Tunbridge Wells and the surrounding area.

When Do You Need a CCTV Drainage Survey?

Simple: when what’s underground could cost you above ground.

Here’s when Tunbridge Wells property owners, buyers and builders call us in:

  • Before purchasing: Know what you’re inheriting — especially with older properties.
  • Before building works: Ensure drains won’t block your plans (or your planning permission).
  • Persistent problems: When blockages keep returning, it’s time to see what’s really going on.
  • After subsidence or flooding: Confirm whether your drains are part of the problem.
  • Insurance claims: Back up your case with indisputable visual evidence.

It’s quick, tidy and delivers peace of mind — whether you own a flat, a business, or a full estate.

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.
