CCTV Surveys
We offer a CCTV survey service to customers throughout Edinburgh, the Lothians and Fife who have encountered recurring problems that have to be resolved without delay.
Recurring blockages can occur in drainage systems due to defects or damage in the line that you cannot see or reach. Structural damage can affect properties where underground drainage has been damaged or become defective. A CCTV survey system can also be used to carry out surveys for Scottish Water when building work will be taking place over an existing drain.
Recurring blockages can cost you money on a regular basis as you have to continually clear the blockage or lead to an even bigger bill due to subsidence issues around your property. If existing drainage is not surveyed before and after building works being carried out you may be liable for any damage discovered even if it wasn't your fault.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a drain survey before building an extension?
If you're building over an existing drain, it should be surveyed before and after the work. Otherwise you may be liable for any damage found, even if it wasn't your fault. We also carry out surveys for Scottish Water.
What is a CCTV drain survey?
A CCTV drain survey uses a camera to inspect underground drains so we can find defects or damage you can't see or reach. We use it for recurring blockages, structural damage and Scottish Water-standard surveys when building work will take place over an existing drain.
Why do I need a CCTV survey for recurring blockages?
Recurring blockages often mean a defect or damage in the line. A CCTV survey diagnoses the problem early and accurately, with no excavation, so we can fix the cause rather than keep clearing the same blockage.
Do you provide a report or site plan after a CCTV survey?
Yes. We carry out accurate Scottish Water standard CCTV surveys and draw up a site plan of the area showing the routes of drainage around the property.
How long does a CCTV drain survey take?
A typical CCTV drain survey takes up to 2 hours on site. We then send you a written report within 3 to 5 working days.
How much does a CCTV drain survey cost?
CCTV drain surveys start from £299. The final price depends on the job, so get in touch and we'll give you a quote.
