FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about our CCTV drain surveys and professional drainage inspections in Felixstowe & Suffolk.

Do I need a CCTV survey if my drains are currently running fine?

+

While you might not notice an immediate problem, a survey is an excellent preventative tool. It can spot early signs of root ingress or ground movement that hasn't yet caused a full blockage. It is also highly recommended if you are planning an extension, as you need to know the exact location and condition of the pipes you are building over.

How long does a typical drain survey take?

+

For a standard domestic property in Felixstowe, a survey usually takes between one and two hours. This can vary depending on the size of the property and the complexity of the drainage layout. We aim to cause minimal disruption and will leave the site exactly as we found it.

Will I get a copy of the footage and the report?

+

Yes. We provide a full digital copy of the camera footage along with a written structural report. This report is industry-standard and can be used for insurance claims, mortgage applications, or as part of a home seller’s pack.

What happens if the camera finds a blockage?

+

If we encounter a blockage that prevents the camera from moving forward, we can often clear it on the spot using high-pressure water jetting or manual rods. Once the flow is restored, we continue the survey to make sure the blockage hasn't caused any underlying damage to the pipework.

What is a pre-purchase drain survey and do I really need one?

+

A pre-purchase drain survey is a specific inspection carried out before you exchange contracts on a new house. Standard homebuyer surveys often ignore the underground pipework. Our survey checks for hidden cracks, root damage, or collapses. It is a small price to pay to avoid moving into a home with a £5,000 drainage bill waiting for you.

How long does a drainage inspection Felixstowe take to complete?

+

Most domestic surveys take between one and two hours, depending on the size of the property and the complexity of the pipework. Once we have finished the on-site work, we get your report and footage over to you as quickly as possible.

Can a CCTV survey help with drain unblocking?

+

Absolutely. If you have a recurring blockage, it usually means there is a physical problem like a snag in the pipe or a partial collapse. The camera helps us see exactly where the blockage is so we can use the right tools to clear it effectively the first time.

Do you provide surveys for commercial properties or just homes?

+

We work with both. Our equipment is suitable for domestic pipes as well as larger commercial and industrial systems. We help business owners in Felixstowe and Suffolk maintain their facilities and stay compliant with environmental regulations.
