How Our Drain Camera Inspections Work

Our process is designed to be completely transparent, providing you with a clear, honest picture of what is happening beneath your property. Here is what you can expect during a pipe inspection with WGS Services:Initial Assessment: We begin by discussing the symptoms you are experiencing and checking your easily accessible manholes and inspection chambers.Camera Insertion: Our WJA-accredited engineers carefully feed a flexible, high-resolution camera into your drainage network. This sends a live feed back to our monitors above ground.Drain Mapping & Diagnosis: As the camera navigates the system, we map the layout of your drains and pinpoint the exact locations of blockages, leaks, or fractures.Detailed Reporting: After the drain camera survey is complete, we provide a comprehensive report outlining the condition of your pipes, alongside transparent, impartial advice on the most cost-effective solutions.

Why Do I Need a CCTV Drainage Investigation?

Understanding the root cause of a drainage fault is the essential first step to a lasting fix. Without a professional drainage investigation, you may find yourself repeatedly paying to clear the exact same blockage. A CCTV survey completely removes the guesswork. We frequently uncover hidden issues such as heavy scale build-up, displaced joints, structural fractures caused by ground movement, or root ingress from nearby trees breaking through the pipe walls.By accurately pinpointing the exact problem, we save you significant time and money. If we identify a simple blockage, we can resolve it rapidly using high-pressure water jetting. For structural defects, our Pipe Doctor approved engineers can recommend eco-friendly no-dig drain repairs. This innovative, trenchless approach patches the pipe from the inside, preventing the need to dig up your beautiful garden or driveway.

Comprehensive Homebuyer Drain Reports in Pendle

If you are purchasing a new domestic or commercial property in Nelson, Colne, or the wider Pendle area, a homebuyer drain report is an invaluable investment. Standard building surveys rarely cover the condition of underground drainage infrastructure, meaning you could easily inherit extremely expensive, pre-existing faults. In fact, mortgage lenders and insurance providers increasingly request these specialised surveys before completing a sale.Our detailed homebuyer reports map the entire drainage system to ensure everything fully complies with Building Regulations Part H (Drainage and Waste Disposal) and meets local United Utilities standards. We clearly identify who is responsible for which pipework—differentiating between private drains and shared public sewers—giving you absolute peace of mind before you sign the contract.

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.
