CCTV Drain Surveys & Inspections In Kent

Understanding Your Drains CCTV Surveys Across the Whole of Kent

A CCTV drain survey takes the guesswork out of a drain problem. We send a camera down the pipe and see exactly what is happening, whether that is a blockage, a crack, root growth or a collapsed section. You get a clear report and an honest view of what, if anything, needs doing.

People call us for a survey for two main reasons.

The first is a recurring problem. A blocked drain, a bad smell that will not shift, or damp that might be a leaking pipe. Rather than dig and hope, we find the fault first, then fix only what is actually wrong.

The second is buying a house. A pre-purchase drain survey tells you whether the drainage is sound before you commit. It is a small cost next to the price of a surprise repair after you move in. We give you a report you can act on, and show to a solicitor or seller if you need to. There is more on our home buyer survey page.

We have been carrying out Drain Surverys across Kent for over 25 years, and we are NADC approved. We cover Herne Bay, Canterbury, Whitstable, Thanet, Faversham, Dover, Ashford and Medway.

Why a Camera Inspection is Your Best Option in Kent

Diagnosing Deep-Rooted Problems

Are you constantly dealing with a Blocked Drains situation? Sometimes, a standard jetting won't hold because the issue isn't just a simple obstruction. Our cameras can spot structural issues like tree roots, displaced joints, or a section of pipe that has actually collapsed. Knowing the exact issue lets us jump straight to the correct solution.

Essential for Buying or Selling Property

A Homebuyer’s Drain Survey is becoming absolutely vital across Kent. You wouldn't buy a house without a structural survey, so why ignore the drains? We provide a comprehensive report, sometimes called a WRC report, that details the condition and pinpoints any faults, giving buyers peace of mind or, perhaps, a strong basis for price negotiation.

Planning Future Excavations or Repairs

If the survey reveals damage, we can accurately locate the fault from above ground using our camera’s built-in sonde. This pinpoint accuracy means that any necessary Drain Repairs we carry out can be non-invasive, like patch lining, or highly targeted, reducing the disruption to your property significantly. We don’t want to dig up your entire garden if we don’t have to, after all.

Mapping Out Your Drain System

For older properties, or if you are planning an extension, knowing exactly where the drains run is crucial. We can provide full Drain Locating and mapping services as part of the survey, so you know exactly which assets are yours and where they lie beneath the ground before you start any construction.

What does a CCTV drain survey show?

Blockages, cracks, displaced joints, root ingress, collapsed pipes and general wear. We record it and explain what it means in plain terms.

How long does a survey take?

Most domestic surveys take under an hour, depending on access and the size of the system.

Fantastic service from Insite Drains. They came out at very short notice, were friendly, professional, and fixed the problem there and then. It's not often you find someone you can genuinely trust, but I'm really pleased I found them. I'll definitely be keeping their number for any future drainage or external plumbing issues. Highly recommended. A great find!

We recently had a flood pump assessment and drains cleared by Insite, and honestly they provided an exceptional service on both - having them round was efficient and easy, I felt it was a really safe pair of hands all round, so I can’t recommend them enough
