Cctv Drain Surveys in Arundel, West Sussex

Are you currently in the process of buying a home near the Castle or perhaps a cottage in the town centre? Before you sign on the dotted line, you’ll want to know what you’re inheriting. Most standard home surveys don't look deep into the drainage system, which is where the most expensive surprises often hide. Our pre-purchase drain surveys are a favourite for first-time buyers and seasoned movers alike. We’ll check for structural defects, such as joint displacement or the dreaded pitch fibre pipes often found in 1950s and 60s builds across West Sussex. Getting a professional report now could save you thousands in repairs down the line, or at the very least, give you the evidence you need to negotiate a fairer price.

It’s incredibly frustrating when you’ve just paid for drain unblocking only for the same sink or toilet to back up again two weeks later. When a blockage keeps returning, it’s usually a sign of a deeper issue. In leafy areas like Arundel, root ingress is a common culprit. Tree roots are experts at finding tiny cracks in old clay pipes, creeping inside and creating a stubborn web that catches everything passing through. By using our camera tech, we can pinpoint the exact spot where roots have entered or where a pipe might have partially collapsed. Once we see the HD footage, we can stop treating the symptoms and finally fix the cause, whether that’s through targeted drain repairs or no-dig patch lining.

One of the biggest worries homeowners have is that a drain inspection will involve excavating the driveway or ruining a manicured lawn. We’re happy to say that’s a thing of the past. Our 'no-dig' philosophy means we can perform a full pipework diagnostic through existing manholes and access points. We feed a waterproof, flexible camera through the system, and you can even watch the live feed with us if you're curious! This specialised approach is efficient, clean, and incredibly accurate. It allows us to identify everything from simple scale build-up to complex structural fractures without ever lifting a spade.

Are you planning to add a bit more space to your home with a new kitchen extension or a conservatory? If you’re building over or near a public sewer, the water authorities in the Arun area will usually require a 'build-over survey'. This involves a CCTV inspection before the work starts to ensure the pipes are in good condition, and another one after the project is finished to prove no damage was caused during construction. We provide the professional drainage reports and mapping you need to keep the planners happy and your project moving forward without a hitch.
