CCTV Drainage Surveys in Coventry
Need a clear picture of your drainage system before building, buying or upgrading in Coventry? Our CCTV drainage surveys provide fast, non-invasive assessments for commercial and residential sites — trusted by engineers, planners and property owners alike.
Using high-definition crawler cameras, we inspect pipe condition and capture key data including invert levels, pipe size, discharge type, flow direction and structural integrity.
What you’ll receive:
- A detailed PDF report with defect grading, mapped observations and still imagery
- HD video footage of the survey route
- An indicative connectivity sketch showing drainage runs and chambers
- Optional CAD deliverables when combined with topographical or measured building surveys
Ideal for build-over approvals, site investigations, asset validation and pre-purchase checks across Coventry and the West Midlands.
