Before you buy, look below the surface.
Many property buyers focus on surveys for the roof, walls, or electrics, yet overlook the drainage system that keeps a home functional. A CCTV drain survey provides a clear picture of what’s happening underground, helping you avoid unexpected repair costs after moving in.
At ADS, we use the latest camera inspection technology to deliver detailed drain reports for homeowners, landlords, and businesses across Dorset and Bournemouth.
What Does a CCTV Drain Survey Show?
Our inspection cameras capture real-time footage of your drainage system, identifying:
- Cracks or fractures in pipes
- Root ingress from trees and shrubs
- Collapsed or misaligned sections
- Fat and scale build-up
- Structural wear due to age or ground movement
Once the survey is complete, we provide a full digital report with video evidence and recommendations for repair, whether that’s a simple clean or no-dig drain lining.
Why Homebuyers Shouldn’t Skip It
Hidden drainage issues are one of the most expensive surprises new homeowners face. A CCTV survey before completion can:
- Reveal defects not covered by standard surveys
- Help negotiate the property price
- Prevent water damage or foul odours post-purchase
- Give peace of mind that your drains are sound
If you’re purchasing an older home or a property with large trees nearby, a CCTV inspection is essential.
How ADS Makes It Simple
Our CCTV Drainage Surveys are quick, non-invasive, and fully recorded for your reference. We can also provide same-day reports for urgent cases or mortgage approvals.
