CCTV Drainage Surveys in Dudley
Carrying out works in Dudley? Whether you’re managing a new build, overseeing refurbishment, or purchasing a property, our CCTV drainage surveys provide fast, accurate insight into underground drainage — without excavation or disruption.
We use advanced HD crawler cameras to inspect pipe condition and record vital information including flow direction, invert levels, diameter, discharge type and structural integrity.
With every survey, you’ll receive:
- A comprehensive PDF report with condition grading and mapped observations
- High-resolution video footage and still imagery
- An indicative connectivity sketch as standard
- Optional CAD plans when combined with a topographical or measured building survey
Ideal for build-over consents, legacy asset verification, and pre-purchase drainage checks across Dudley and the wider Black Country.
