Expert CCTV Drain Surveys
Across Hayling Island, Havant , Portsmouth & Hampshire
Professional camera inspections, pre-purchase reports, and drainage mapping.

If you're currently in the process of buying a new home in the PO10 area, you've probably got a million things on your mind. Between solicitors and mortgage valuations, it's easy to overlook what's happening beneath the garden. Most standard home surveys don't actually look inside the drains, which can be a costly mistake. Imagine moving into your lovely new Emsworth cottage only to find the main sewer line is collapsed or riddled with tree roots. Our pre-purchase drain surveys give you a full structural analysis before you sign on the dotted line. We'll provide you with HD footage and a professional report that meets WRC standards. If we find a problem, you can use our report to negotiate the house price or ask the seller to fix it before you move in. It's all about giving you that much-needed peace of mind during a stressful move.

Emsworth is a beautiful place, partly because of all the mature trees and lush gardens we enjoy here. However, those trees have roots that are constantly searching for moisture, and your old clay drainage pipes are a perfect target. Once a tiny root hair finds a gap in a pipe joint, it'll grow and grow until it completely chokes the flow or causes a joint displacement. During our camera surveys, we often find 'root curtains' hanging inside the pipes of older properties. If we catch this early with a survey, we can often fix it using no-dig technology like patch lining, which saves you the hassle and expense of digging up your driveway. It's a much cleaner, faster way to get your home back to normal.

Are you thinking about adding a new sunroom or extending your kitchen? Most homeowners don't realise that if you're building within three metres of a public sewer, the water authorities usually require a build-over survey. This involves a CCTV inspection before and after the building work to make sure the foundations haven't damaged the pipes. We also offer drainage mapping, which is incredibly handy for your architect or builder. We can plot out exactly where your pipes run and how deep they are, preventing any nasty (and expensive) surprises once the diggers arrive. It's much better to have a clear plan now than to accidentally strike a main sewer line halfway through your project.

We've invested in the latest waterproof camera tech because it allows us to be honest with you. When we find a crack or a structural defect, we won't just tell you about it—we'll show you the video evidence on the monitor right there and then. Being a local, independent team means we care more about our reputation in the Hampshire and West Sussex community than hitting sales targets. You won't find any 'hidden' extras in our quotes, and we don't believe in upselling you a repair you don't actually need. We're just local specialists who enjoy solving problems and getting things flowing again for our neighbours in Emsworth, Havant, and beyond. Whether it's pitch fibre pipes in a 1960s house or modern plastic runs in a new development, we've got the kit and the experience to handle it.
