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.
