What Is a CCTV Drain Survey?
Let’s break it down — a CCTV drain survey is like giving your drains a health check-up. Using waterproof cameras, we inspect your underground pipework to find blockages, leaks, cracks, or tree root intrusions without any digging involved.
It’s non-invasive, quick, and super accurate. If you’ve got recurring drainage problems, foul smells, or slow drains, this is exactly what you need. Learn more about our CCTV drain surveys in Aylesford.
