CCTV drain surveys are a really useful tool here in Blandford Forum. The age of some local drainage is simply unknown. Because the Stour valley carries flood risk, hidden faults can get worse as groundwater rises each season. Our surveys give clear, accurate facts for every home type.

The camera sends real-time footage to a monitor. This lets us spot cracks, root growth, displaced joints, and blockages as we go.
You receive a written report with annotated screenshots and a clear pipe condition summary. We also prioritise any repairs or maintenance needed.
We survey all the drainage we can access and record clear footage. Our reports cover pipe state and any faults in detail. They work well for house sales, planning, and insurance too.
