How Our Drain Camera Inspections Work

We believe in keeping our services straightforward and transparent. When you book a drainage investigation with WGS Services, our experienced engineers follow a precise process to ensure nothing is missed.Initial Assessment: We evaluate the visible signs of your drainage issue to determine the best access point.Camera Insertion: A high-definition, waterproof camera is carefully fed into your pipework, sending live footage back to our monitor.Fault Identification: We actively look for common issues such as root ingress, cracked joints, collapsed pipes, and severe fat build-ups.Detailed Reporting: We provide comprehensive drain mapping and a full condition report, explaining the findings in plain English alongside cost-effective recommendations.

Why Do You Need a Drainage Investigation?

Many property owners wait until a drain completely backs up before seeking help, which can lead to emergency flooding and costly damage. A professional CCTV drain survey is a highly preventative, cost-effective measure.By accurately locating structural defects early, we can recommend targeted, localised repairs rather than excavating large sections of your garden or driveway. Identifying issues like minor root ingress early means we can clear the blockage and seal the pipe before the roots cause the drain to collapse completely. It is the smartest, most eco-friendly way to maintain the integrity of your property infrastructure.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about our professional CCTV drain surveys and inspections in Lancashire

How long does a CCTV drain survey take?

+

For most domestic properties in Darwen, a standard survey takes between one and two hours. This gives us enough time to inspect the main lines, identify any points of concern, and record the footage needed for your report. Larger commercial sites or complex mapping projects may take longer, but we will always give you an estimated timeframe before we start.

Do I need to be home for the drain inspection?

+

It is usually helpful if you are there so we can show you the live feed and explain our findings in person. However, as long as we have access to the external manholes and drain entry points, we can complete the survey and send the full digital report and footage to you via email.

Will you have to dig up my garden to see the pipes?

+

Not at all. That is the main benefit of using a sewer camera survey. We access your drainage system through existing manholes or gullies. It is a completely non-invasive process that allows us to see exactly what is happening without moving a single spade of soil.

What happens if the survey find a leak or a crack?

+

If we find damage, we will provide you with a detailed quote for the repair. In many cases, we can use "no-dig" technology. This involves inserting a liner into the pipe that bonds to the inside of the existing structure, sealing any cracks or leaks without needing to excavate your driveway or garden.

Is a CCTV survey worth it for a new house?

+

Absolutely. Many buyers in Lancashire have saved thousands of pounds by identifying root damage or collapsed pipes before finishing their house purchase. Most building surveyors do not look inside the pipes, so our report fills that vital gap in your knowledge.
