Mapping of your drainage network

Over time, drainage pipe networks naturally deteriorate, leading to persistent blockages, foul odours, and structural vulnerabilities.

Our state-of-the-art camera systems provide a completely non-invasive method to look directly inside your drain infrastructure. We can map out pipe locations and identify hidden faults with absolute precision.

Whether you are managing an active commercial site, securing a water board build-over agreement, or conducting a pre-purchase property inspection, our high-definition surveys eliminate the guesswork.

Our team will carry an extensive range of specialised camera equipment designed to adapt to any pipe diameter or complex drainage layout. If leaks or structural defects compromise your system, our rapid-response diagnostics pinpoint the exact source of the failure immediately. This real-time visual data allows our engineering team to calculate accurate, transparent repair costs and precise project timelines, ensuring your drainage system is restored with minimal operational downtime.

24-hour reporting

Our team can process and deliver comprehensive and highly accurate drain survey diagnostics and cloud-hosted footage within 24 hours of site completion.

Highly competitive support

We pair diagnostic technology with honest, cost-effective pricing. Our expert engineers remain on call 24/7 to provide fast, reliable emergency clearance. Our quotes are always fixed.

Comprehensive CAD and mapping

Our specialist engineers are extensively trained in advanced CAD mapping, home buyer reporting, and locating hidden infrastructure, serving both domestic homes and large-scale commercial developments.

Key advantages

Advantages of CCTV Drain Surveys

01

Accurate fault identification

Drainage issues are impossible to fix accurately without clear visibility. Our high-definition camera footage easily detects structural fractures, collapsed sections, displaced joints, heavy scale build-up, and compacted fatbergs. Our engineers can review the cloud-stored footage to pinpoint the exact root cause of your recurring blockages or foul property odours, ensuring we implement a permanent remedy rather than a temporary fix.

02

Seamless construction planning and mapping

Before starting a building extension or structural development, it is important to know the exact drainage layout of your site. Our advanced cameras feature integrated transmitters that sync with CAT scanners to track underground pipe pathways. This equipment allows us to plot your entire network with precision. We will provide the verified data required for water board build-over agreements.

03

Non-destructive and non-invasive inspection

Traditional pipe inspections historically require excavation, street digging, or property damage. Our CCTV surveys allow us to inspect your pipework without this costly disruption. We will insert flexible, high-tech cameras directly into existing access points to thoroughly audit the internal condition of your pipework while keeping your business operations running smoothly.

04

Fast and efficient project costing

Having a clear idea of your drains will translate directly into financial accuracy. Our CCTV footage reveals the exact depth, nature, and scale of a drainage defect. This removes the need for theoretical estimates and unexpected project extensions. We use this data to calculate the exact time, equipment, and materials needed for remediation, providing you with a transparent, competitive, and highly accurate quote from the outset.

05

Preventative pest mitigation

Persistent rodent infestations are often linked to structural breaches in your drainage system. Rats can easily get through cracked pipes, broken interceptors, or open joints to travel from local sewers straight into commercial or residential properties. Our targeted camera surveys will inspect the structural integrity of your lines and locate these hidden entry points so they can be sealed permanently.

06

Advanced CAD site mapping

Standard video files are rarely enough for complex commercial projects and engineering developments. First Action Drainage utilises advanced technology to convert real-world camera data into professional digital schematics. This mapping ensures your drainage assets are fully vetted, clean, and structurally sound before any heavy construction begins, protecting your investment from future structural cross-contamination.
