How Our CCTV Drain Inspection Works
Easy Scheduling
We start with a quick phone call or online booking, fitting in around your busy life. Before rolling up our sleeves, our technician listens to your concerns, like slow drains, odd smells, or past blockages, and plans the best way to view your pipes.
Camera Inspection
Once on site, our skilled pro gently feeds a slim, waterproof camera into your drain opening. You’ll watch as it travels smoothly through bends, giving a live feed of your pipe’s interior. This isn’t guesswork, every inch is captured in high definition.
Real Time Monitoring
As the camera moves inside the pipes, we stop at each telltale sign: joints out of alignment, roots forcing their way in, or areas where the walls have thinned. Our technician captures images to record every concern, so you receive a full picture of your drains’ condition.
Clear Report with Vivid Images
After the inspection, we compile a straightforward report filled with easy to understand images and honest descriptions. No jargon, no hidden details. You’ll see exactly what’s happening underground and why it matters.
Personalized Recommendations
Armed with our findings, we suggest only what you really need. Whether it’s a targeted drain cleaning, a quick patch on a cracked pipe, or a minor pipe lining, our advice focuses on long-term results that fit your budget.
Fully Insured and Fully Compliant
Every job we undertake is backed by comprehensive public liability insurance and conforms to all current health and safety regulations. You can have peace of mind knowing we’re fully covered and follow best practices at every step.
The staff are very friendly and helpful. The services is also top notch. I had issues with my key stuck in the drainage and Roman was very helpful in sorting out the issue. I will recommend the services of Drainblock anytime. Thanks so much.
After being let down by several other companies, I was beginning to lose hope of finding a reliable drain unblocking service. Thankfully, Drainblock came to the rescue, and I can confidently say they are the best in Plymouth!
The customer service was second to none, I highly recommend them!
Roman came over quickly despite it being a weekend and fixed my blocked drain swiftly and efficiently, and gave me some advice about what to look for if it happens again. Excellent service, very friendly and approachable.
Common Problems Our CCTV drain survey Reveals
Hidden Blockages
Grease, debris, or scale build-up can sneak up on you and cause slow drains or backups. Our CCTV drain survey finds the source quickly, so you avoid messy overflows.
Structural Wear
Old pipes can crack, corrode, or collapse over time. By watching the footage from our CCTV drain survey, you can see where the damage is and act before a small crack becomes a full collapse.
Root Intrusions
Tree roots love to sneak into tiny cracks. Once inside, they grow fast and block water flow. Our high precision CCTV drain survey spots these invaders before they turn into a major headache.
Joint Misalignment
If the ground shifts or settles, pipe joints can move out of place. You might not notice until you have a leak. Our cameras catch these misalignments early, so you can fix them with minimal fuss.
Worn Out Materials
Vinyl, clay, or cast iron pipes don’t last forever. Over time they thin out, rust, or crumble. With a CCTV drain survey, you see exactly how much life remains in your pipes.

What exactly is a CCTV drain inspection, and why should I consider one?
A CCTV drain inspection uses a small, waterproof camera to explore the inside of your pipes. It gives us a clear view of what’s going on underground, spotting cracks, blockages, root damage, or pipe wear before they turn into expensive problems. It’s ideal for both routine maintenance and diagnosing tricky drainage issues.
How long does a typical CCTV drain inspection take?
Most inspections take between 45 minutes and 90 minutes, depending on the size and condition of your drainage system. We’ll give you a more accurate estimate once we know a bit about your property.
Is a CCTV drain inspection suitable for old or fragile pipe systems?
Yes, in fact, it’s one of the safest ways to assess older or delicate drains. We don’t dig or apply pressure, just guide the camera through gently, so there’s no risk of damage during the inspection.
How much does a CCTV drain inspection cost?
Prices typically range from £175 to £295, depending on the complexity and length of the system. That includes the inspection, a recorded video, and a clear written report with our findings.
Can I watch the camera footage in real time?
Absolutely. You’re welcome to watch the live feed as the camera moves through your pipes. We’ll explain what we’re seeing along the way so you’re never left in the dark.
Do I need to prepare anything before the inspection?
Not much. Just make sure we have clear access to the drainage point we’ll be inspecting, often a manhole or external pipe. We’ll handle the rest, including setup and clean-up.
Will the CCTV drain inspection uncover every possible problem?
It will catch most visible issues, like cracks, blockages, collapsed sections, misaligned joints, and tree root intrusion. Some hidden problems may still need further testing, but a CCTV survey is the best first step to diagnosing most drainage concerns.
Can I sell or buy a property with a CCTV drain inspection report in hand?
Yes , it’s a great move. If you’re buying, it gives peace of mind and may uncover costly issues before contracts are signed. If you’re selling, it shows buyers the system is in good shape and can help speed up the process.

call nowFirst time I’ve used Drainblock but Roman was brill. Top class. Great communication, excellent work and knowledge , and fairly priced. Having hired many many trades as a landlord and holiday let owner I can say I really wish they were all this easy to deal with.
Called Roman with a query about a blocked drain at 1815 .
Was given very competitive prices for a call out at this time of night and a straight forward breakdown of what it may cost if the time went over 1 hour.
Gladly agreed to get him out and can happily say drain was completely unblocked within 45 minutes of original call.
Roman very kindly gave his time and experience to help us deal with a terrible experience from a rogue trader. He reviewed CCTV footage and was able to explain what would have been a reasonable and fair (in contrast to what happened to us). I’m incredibly grateful to him. I will certainly choose him for a good, honest local service in the future. Thanks, Roman!
