Cctv Drain Surveys in Bognor Regis, West Sussex

Buying a house in West Sussex is a huge investment, whether it's a seaside cottage near the pier or a modern family home in Felpham. Most people wouldn't dream of skipping a structural survey, but it's surprising how many overlook the pipework hidden underground. Our pre-purchase drain surveys are a lifesaver for home movers. We'll spot things like root ingress or structural defects that could cost thousands to fix later. If we find a collapsed pipe or a displaced joint, you've got the video evidence you need to negotiate the price or ask the seller to fix it before you exchange contracts. It's all about that peace of mind.

Nobody wants to see their patio or driveway ripped up just to find a leak. Thanks to our 'no-dig' technology, we rarely have to. We thread a waterproof, flexible camera through your system, giving us a clear look at every inch of the pipework. In many of the older properties around Bognor, we often find pitch fibre pipes—a common 1950s material that tends to squash or delaminate over time. Because our cameras and reporting meet WRC standards, we can accurately diagnose everything from simple scale build-up to serious joint displacement, ensuring we only ever suggest fixing what's actually broken.

Planning a new kitchen extension or a garden room? If you're building over or near a public sewer, the water authorities in Arun will likely insist on a build-over survey. We provide the detailed drainage mapping and structural analysis they require to give you the green light. We'll show the exact path, depth, and condition of your pipes, making the planning process much smoother. It's not just about red tape, though; it's about making sure your new build doesn't put pressure on your existing system and lead to a nasty surprise once the builders have gone home.

In the leafier parts of West Sussex, tree roots are a major enemy of drainage systems. They're incredibly good at finding tiny cracks in old clay pipes to reach the water inside. Once they're in, they grow quickly, catching debris and causing recurring blockages. Using our pipework diagnostics, we can pinpoint exactly where those roots have broken through. Often, we can clear the obstruction and repair the pipe with a patch liner—a clever 'pipe-within-a-pipe' fix—without having to excavate a single sod of earth. It’s faster, cleaner, and much kinder to your wallet.
