Your Guide To CCTV Drain Surveys
CCTV drain surveys have been very beneficial in recent years to make sure drainage systems are effectively cleared. This can prevent damage to your drainage system and make sure no errors are made during clearance and cleaning. Our guide takes you through what CCTV drain surveys are and why they are so beneficial.
B&S Pipeline Solutions use CCTV drain surveys to make sure drain clearance and unblocking is completed to the highest possible standard. We work throughout Elgin and the whole of Scotland.
What Are CCTV Drain Surveys?
CCTV drain surveys is an effective process to examine the condition of drainage systems. This is done remotely using a camera system that can record video footage of the drain and capture useful data to make sure we know exactly what is causing blockages to a drainage system.
This technology is now essential when it comes to inspecting and surveying underground drains, as well as making the service much more cost effective and quicker. It can be used for a number of different drainage systems on both commercial and domestic properties, making it ideal to resolve any drain blockages without delay.
When To Use CCTV Drain Surveys
CCTV drain surveys can be used for a range of purposes due to their flexibility and effectiveness. This means you can use them in several different situations to gather data safely, without completing potentially hazardous confined space entries. CCTV drain surveys can be used as part of preventative maintenance programmes, meaning there are several times they are actually suitable to be used.
If you are moving into a new home or property, surveys can be completed to give you a good idea of the condition of the drainage system before you move in. This means if clearance or repairs are needed in the future, you are not left in the dark and you have a full report based on your drain surveys well in advance.
Drain surveys should also be used when blockages have occurred or you think the drainage system has been damaged. Completing a survey will be the most cost-effective and quickest way of identifying the problem with your drains, before resolving the issue that is present.
Equipment Used In Drain Surveys
For CCTV drain surveys to be completed to the highest possible standard, there are several pieces of equipment that should be used. This includes:
Crawlers
Sonar Units
Waterproof Cameras
Access rods are used to push the waterproof cameras along the drain and navigate through the system. The waterproof cameras should always provide the images needed to see what problems lie within the drainage system. Crawlers are then used to provide visual access to sewer system, with sonar units used for acoustic profiling to find where visual access is obstructed.
B&S Pipeline Solutions always use the best industry equipment and latest methods to complete CCTV drain surveys correctly.
What Do Surveys Find?
CCTV drain surveys can be used in many situations and are useful for identifying a wide range of problems that could be present within your drainage systems. Just some of the problems that could be found from using surveys includes:
Blockages
Burst & Leaky Pipes
Collapsed Drains

If you have noticed any issues with your drains and drainage system, surveys will thoroughly inspect your drains to identify the problem and offer a quick turnaround and solution.
