CCTV Drain Surveys — frequently asked questions
What does a CCTV drain survey show?
The camera footage shows what's happening inside your pipes in real time. For example, it reveals blockages, cracks, root penetration, joint movement, and corrosion. You then get a written report plus the video recording for your own records.
Do I need a drain survey before buying a house?
We recommend a survey for Poole properties near the harbour or on sandy subsoil with mature trees. Drainage problems rarely show signs above ground until they get worse. However, a survey gives you evidence for price talks, or simple peace of mind.
How long does a CCTV drain survey take?
The time a residential survey takes depends on how long and how tricky the drainage run is. Afterwards, the engineer walks you through the findings on site. The formal report then follows.
Is it free to request a quote?
Yes. Requesting a quote through the Plumbers Poole online enquiry form is free. We confirm the cost with you before we start any work.
How quickly can you arrive in an emergency?
We put urgent requests first, across Poole, Bournemouth, and wider Dorset. We cannot promise a set arrival time, but we will discuss timing with you when we reply.
Are you available for emergencies?
Yes, you can report an emergency at any time. Problems don't wait for office hours, so our 24/7 online enquiry form always stays open, and we prioritise urgent requests.
