The common issues detected during a CCTV drain inspection
- Blockages: Debris, grease, tree roots, or foreign objects obstructing the flow of water
- Cracks or fractures: Structural damage to pipes that can lead to leaks and reduced drainage efficiency
- Collapsed pipes: Sections of the drainage system having caved in. Caused by old age, ground movement, or heavy traffic above
- Joint displacement: Misalignment or separation of pipe joints, leading to leaks and infiltration of soil and debris
- Corrosion: Deterioration of pipes, particularly in older metal systems, leading to leaks and reduced lifespan
- Silt build-up: Restricting flow and will lead to blockages over time
- Poor installation: Issues from a poorly installed drainage systems include incorrect gradients or inadequate connections
- Pests: Evidence of pests or vermin within the drainage system, which can indicate larger underlying problems

Identifying these issues early through a CCTV survey can help homeowners address problems before they escalate into more significant and costly repairs.
What is a homebuyer drain and septic tank survey?
If you’re currently searching for your first or next home and you’re wondering what surveys to complete on your favourite home, a homebuyer drain or septic tank survey could be a great choice.
What a homebuyer and septic tank survey covers:
Drain Survey:
- Uses CCTV technology to inspect the drainage system for blockages, leaks, or structural issues
- Identifies problems like tree root intrusion, pipe corrosion, or misaligned joints
Septic Tank Survey:
- Evaluates the septic tank’s condition, including its capacity and functionality
- Checks for signs of malfunction, such as leaks or improper drainage, which could lead to costly repairs
We recommend a homebuyer drain/septic tank survey for anyone buying a home. The survey provides a view into the drainage system that you otherwise wouldn’t be able to see, uncovering any unwelcome issues that normally go unnoticed.
It gives you ultimate peace of mind that the drainage system and septic tank are in good working order before buying any property.
Cesspit and septic tank inspections
We can carryout tank and septic tank inspections to advise if your system meets the current Environment Agency’s General Binding Rules, and if they require and remedial works, upgrades or a new installation.
