We carry out CCTV drain inspection surveys throughout Blackburn to diagnose and locate drainage problems. CCTV drain surveys are a cost effective method of locating drainage problems such as broken or collapsed pipes, tree roots damage, blockages, making it easy to assess the structural condition. Findings are provided on CD or DVD with a detailed computerised report.
Our CCTV drain survey engineers have many years of experience working throughout Blackburn with Surveyors and consultants on drainage projects, they are highly qualified in:
- Water Training International Sewer Coding Qualification
- Safe Working In Confined Spaces

Our cameras include Tractor Crawler systems that can travel up to 250 metres along large sewers and culvers from a single access manhole. At the other end of the scale we have flexible cameras that can negotiate bends and gully traps. All our CCTV systems use the market leading equipment that delivers high quality CCTV video with excellent resolution quality to identify every drainage defect down to even hairline cracks.
Once our CCTV drain inspection identifies defective pipes, we use the latest sonar equipment to accurately pinpoint the exact location together with depth to the nearest cm saving valuable time and money. Please see our ‘no dig’ page for details of our trenchless repair systems. All findings are digitalised onto disc in mpeg, jpeg and pdf files.
