If you’ve ever experienced a blocked drain, slow-running water, or bad smells around your property, you know how stressful drainage problems can be. But what if you could see exactly what’s happening inside your drains — without digging up your garden or driveway?

That’s where CCTV drain surveys come in.

At Centra Drains, we use the latest high-definition camera technology to inspect underground pipes and diagnose issues quickly and accurately. From simple blockages to structural damage, our CCTV surveys provide clear answers, fast solutions, and complete peace of mind.

We’re trusted across Swindon, Chippenham, Marlborough, Devizes, and the surrounding Wiltshire areas — delivering fast, professional, and affordable drainage surveys for homes and businesses alike.

💧 What Is a CCTV Drain Survey?

A CCTV drain survey involves inserting a specialist waterproof camera into your drainage system. The camera travels through your pipes, sending live video footage to our engineers above ground. This allows us to identify:

• 🔸 Blockages and debris build-up
• 🔸 Cracks, fractures, and pipe displacement
• 🔸 Tree root ingress
• 🔸 Collapsed or broken sections
• 🔸 Incorrect pipe connections or misalignments
• 🔸 General wear and tear

Once the inspection is complete, we provide a detailed digital report along with high-resolution video footage, showing exactly what’s been found and the best options for repair or maintenance.

No digging. No disruption. Just clear, factual results.

🏡 Why CCTV Drain Surveys Are So Important

Many drainage problems develop slowly over time — and by the time you see visible signs, the damage could already be serious. A CCTV drain survey helps catch these issues early, saving you time, money, and stress.

Here’s why they’re so valuable:

✅ 1. Accurate Diagnosis

Guesswork is expensive. Instead of trial-and-error, our cameras pinpoint the exact location and cause of the issue — helping us provide a targeted repair plan that avoids unnecessary excavation.

✅ 2. Prevent Costly Repairs

A small crack or minor blockage can quickly become a full collapse if left untreated. A regular survey can identify weak spots before they turn into expensive emergencies.

✅ 3. Essential for Homebuyers

Buying a property? A pre-purchase CCTV drain survey can reveal hidden drainage problems that could cost thousands down the line. It’s like a health check for your new home’s plumbing — and it’s often required by mortgage lenders or surveyors.

✅ 4. Peace of Mind for Landlords & Businesses

For landlords and property managers, regular drainage inspections are crucial for keeping tenants safe and avoiding disruption. Our team provides scheduled maintenance CCTV surveys for commercial and multi-unit properties across Swindon.

✅ 5. Environmentally Friendly

No unnecessary digging means less waste, less mess, and less impact on your surroundings. CCTV surveys are one of the most eco-friendly ways to assess and maintain your drainage system.
