See Exactly What Is Happening Underground
Most drainage problems are invisible until they cause real damage, a recurring blockage, a bad smell, subsidence, or a rat problem that keeps coming back no matter how many times it is treated. A CCTV drain survey puts a camera through your drainage system so we can see the true condition of the pipework and show you precisely what is wrong and where.
You receive a clear written report with footage, findings and honest recommendations, so you can make decisions based on evidence rather than guesswork.
When You Need a Drain Survey
A camera survey turns an expensive unknown into a clear, costed plan.
Recurring Rat Problems
Defective drains are one of the most common ways rats get into a property. A survey finds the breach so it can be sealed for good.
Blockages & Bad Smells
Persistent blockages, slow drainage or drain odours traced back to the exact cause rather than repeatedly cleared.
Buying a Property
A pre-purchase drain survey reveals hidden defects before you commit, and can save thousands in post-sale repairs.
Subsidence & Insurance
Cracked or collapsed drains can cause subsidence. A documented survey supports insurance and repair claims.
The Link Between Drains and Rats
If you have had rats treated more than once and they keep returning, the drains are a prime suspect. Rats are strong swimmers and will travel through damaged or disused pipework straight into a property. Treating the rats without fixing the route in is a losing battle. That is why our drain surveys work so closely with our rat control and wider pest control services: we find the entry point, prove it on camera, and put a permanent stop to it.

Expertise Across Every Pest
Because we handle the pest side as well as the survey, we know exactly how a drainage defect becomes a pest problem across the North East.
Rodent Control
Rats reach properties through damaged drains far more often than people realise. We find the route in, clear the rodents, and seal the breach for good.
Insects & Crawling Pests
Damp, hidden voids are where crawling insects thrive. We identify bed bugs, cockroaches, fleas and the rest, and treat the conditions that let them settle.
Wasps, Bees & Flying Insects
Wasp nests turn up in cavities, roofs and airbricks. We deal with them safely, relocate bees where possible, and trace moth activity back to its source.
Birds & Wildlife
Gulls and pigeons block guttering and foul roofs and drainage alike. We proof them humanely and manage foxes and moles strictly within the law.

Your Questions, Answered
Common questions about CCTV drain surveys across the North East. Still not sure? Call us on 0191 829 9920.
What is a CCTV drain survey?
A CCTV drain survey uses a specialist camera fed through your drainage system to record the internal condition of the pipes. It shows blockages, cracks, collapses, root ingress and pest entry points, so problems can be diagnosed accurately rather than guessed at.
How much does a drain survey cost?
Cost depends on the size and accessibility of the system, so we give a fixed price up front with no hidden charges. Because a survey often prevents far more expensive damage or repeated pest call-outs, it usually pays for itself. Ask us for a quote.
Do I need a drain survey when buying a house?
A pre-purchase drain survey is one of the smartest checks a buyer can make. Drainage repairs are expensive and rarely visible on a standard homebuyer report, so a survey lets you buy with confidence or negotiate on price if defects are found.
Can drains really cause a rat problem?
Yes, very often. Rats travel through damaged or disused drainage and enter properties through breaks in the pipework. If rats keep coming back after treatment, a drain survey usually finds the reason, which is why we pair surveys with our rat control service.
What do I get at the end?
You receive a clear written report with annotated camera footage, the location and nature of any defects, identified pest entry points, and prioritised recommendations, plus a fixed quote for any remedial work you choose to have done.
How long does a survey take?
Most residential surveys take between one and two hours on site, depending on the size and accessibility of the drainage. We will confirm the report turnaround when we book you in.
