How Long Does a CCTV Drain Survey Take to Complete?

A CCTV drain survey is one of the most sophisticated methods for detecting problems in a drainage system. We use it when we’re not sure of the problem and want to make an accurate diagnosis. Once we’ve done that we can ascertain what the solution might be for this type of issue and then do something about it. 

CCTV surveys can be carried out by trained drain engineers that know what they’re doing.

We usually suggest to people that only trained people carry out a CCTV drain survey because it involves highly delicate work and the use of extremely delicate technologically sophisticated equipment that requires diligence and accuracy. 

We always explain the process to our clients so they understand what it entails.

When we view a property’s drains we make sure that the owners are aware of what a survey entails and how we’re going to do it, but one of the most popular questions asked on a regular basis is how long exactly it’s going to take. That’s almost like asking how long a piece of string is, because as you can imagine, there’ll be lots of factors to take into consideration. 

However, we are going to try and help come up with a ballpark figure so you can have some idea of what to expect.

How complex is the issue and the level of detailed reporting we do will determine the length of time. In the main, CCTV drain surveys can detect complex drainage issues and give accurate and in depth footage coupled with a report which identifies key issues, helping to keep your drains in excellent working condition. 

How long does it take?

Normally, the length of time it will take to carry out a survey will depend on the size of your drains and whether it’s a small or large system. However, we believe it can be done within a couple of hours.
