COMMERCIAL CCTV DRAINAGE SURVEYS

Commercial drainage systems can be larger and more complex than others you’ll find, but that doesn’t make them immune to blockages or structural damage, two things that cause costly downtime.

When a fault develops beneath a busy site, such as a restaurant kitchen, retail unit, warehouse or multi-site facility, you need answers fast, not days of disruption while contractors poke around trying to find the problem. At Express Drainage Solutions, that’s exactly what our commercial CCTV drain survey service delivers.

We provide full commercial CCTV drain surveys for businesses throughout London and the South East, using the latest camera technology to pinpoint the exact location and extent of any issues. And we do it all without unnecessary excavation whenever possible, limiting the downtime for your operations.

Ready to make informed decisions about your drains and keep your business going? We’re ready to help – simply call to arrange a survey for your site.

What is a commercial CCTV drain survey?

A commercial CCTV drain survey uses a waterproof, high-resolution camera to inspect the full length of a drainage run in real time. As the camera travels through the pipework, our engineers record the continuous footage, allowing them to identify blockages and structural defects with precision. We find it’s the least destructive method available for locating a fault, which means less disruption to your site, staff and customers.

Once we’ve completed the survey, we provide a full report of our findings, along with a fixed quotation for any recommended repair or maintenance work. This gives you the evidence and costs you need to make a fast but informed decision.

 

Why commercial sites need regular CCTV drain surveys

The cost of reactive repairs can mount up, but they’re also disruptive, not to mention it being hard to predict when you’ll need them. A planned approach to drain inspection helps you stay ahead of problems before they become emergencies. Common reasons businesses commission a commercial CCTV drain survey include:

Our fully insured and accredited engineers bring the latest CCTV survey technology to your business, backed by clear reporting and fixed, transparent pricing. We don’t do vague estimates or surprise fees.

What our surveys detect

Our high-tech CCTV equipment identifies a wide range of issues within commercial drainage networks, including but not limited to:

  • Structural damage, e.g. cracking and partial or complete collapse
  • Root ingress and pipe scale build-up
  • Blockages, debris and grease build-up
  • Displaced or leaking pipe joints
  • Incorrect or substandard original installation
  • Shared drainage usage between units or tenants
  • Leaks and emanating harmful vapours

Where our surveys reveal a recordable defect, we can also liaise directly with your insurer, providing photographic evidence and a fixed quotation to support your claim.

 

Minimising downtime, maximising compliance

If you’re a facilities manager or site operator, your priority is always the same: to keep the business running. CCTV drain surveys are non-invasive by design, meaning our engineers can assess and diagnose problems without tearing up your floors, car park or access routes.

Where remedial work is required, our findings will allow us to plan the most efficient, least disruptive repair method from the start. This is much better than discovering the full extent of a problem halfway through a job.

We also understand that commercial clients need more than just repairs. You need documentation, so every commercial CCTV drain survey comes with a full digital report, giving you a clear audit trail for compliance, insurance and health and safety records. This can support wider planned maintenance schedules whether for a single site or across a whole portfolio.

 

Confirming drain positions for new building works

Commercial CCTV drain surveys are also essential when new building works are planned. Before any construction, extension or groundworks begin, it’s important to confirm the exact position, depth and condition of existing drainage.

This is particularly the case if the work is near or over a manhole cover. Our surveys provide the accurate mapping and reporting needed to satisfy building control requirements and keep your work on schedule.
