When it comes to maintaining the health of your drainage system, understanding the condition of your pipes is crucial. At Southampton Drains24, we utilize advanced CCTV drain surveys to provide comprehensive insights into your drainage issues. In this blog post, we will explain how a CCTV survey works and detail the equipment involved in the inspection process.

What is a CCTV Drain Survey?

A CCTV drain survey is a non-invasive method used to inspect the internal condition of drainage systems through the use of high-definition cameras. This innovative technique allows our skilled technicians to see inside the pipes, identifying blockages, leaks, cracks, and other potential problems without the need for excavation.

How Does a CCTV Drain Survey Work?

  1. Preparation: Before conducting the survey, our team will assess your property and determine the most effective access points for the camera. This ensures a thorough inspection without unnecessary disruption to your landscape or property.
  2. Camera Insertion: A high-resolution camera fitted on a flexible rod is inserted into the drain through the access point. The camera is specifically designed to navigate bends and turns in the drainage system, allowing it to capture images and video footage of the internal pipe structures.
  3. Live Feed Transmission: As the camera moves through the pipes, it transmits real-time footage back to our monitoring equipment. Our technicians closely observe this live feed, allowing them to identify any problems as they arise.
  4. Recording and Documentation: The footage captured during the survey is recorded for further analysis. After completing the inspection, we compile a comprehensive report detailing our findings, which can include visuals of any issues detected.
  5. Recommendation: Based on our analysis, we can provide expert recommendations for any necessary repairs or maintenance, ensuring that your drainage system is in optimal condition.

Equipment Involved in a CCTV Drain Survey

  1. High-Definition CCTV Cameras: These cameras are specially designed to fit into pipes and provide high-resolution images and videos. They can capture detailed views of the pipe’s interior, allowing us to see even the smallest issues.
  2. Flexible Rods: The camera is mounted on flexible and durable rods that can easily navigate through the bends and turns of the drainage system. This flexibility is essential for accessing hard-to-reach areas.
  3. Monitoring Equipment: Our technicians use advanced monitoring screens to view the live feed from the camera. This equipment is integral to capturing the details needed for accurate diagnosis.
  4. Recording Devices: The video footage from the survey is captured and stored using high-quality recording devices. This ensures that we have a detailed visual record that can be referenced later for repairs or maintenance planning.
  5. Lighting Equipment: In dark or obstructed drains, lighting is crucial. High-intensity LED lights are often attached to the camera to illuminate the pipe interior, ensuring clear visibility.
