A CCTV survey puts a camera through your drains and takes the guesswork out of what is happening underground. Instead of paying to clear the same blockage twice a year, you see the displaced joint, the root mass or the collapsed section causing it, exactly where it is and how bad it is.

Off-mains properties cluster on the gorge slopes and across the farmland south of town, from cottages below Benthall Edge to farms towards Willey. Many gorge-side systems are as old as the houses they serve, squeezed into plots that were never designed with a tanker in mind.

Surveys have become a standard part of buying a house, and for rural properties they pair naturally with a septic system inspection. Drainage faults are invisible at a viewing, can cost thousands, and are entirely findable with a camera before you exchange. A pre-purchase survey is cheap insurance on any property, and near essential on an older one.

Buying or selling around Broseley

Broseley offers characterful period property at friendlier prices than Ironbridge across the river, and the market is busy with renovators. Renovation is the ideal moment to sort out inherited drainage, and we regularly work alongside builders on gorge-side projects.

CCTV Drain Surveys: common questions

How long does a CCTV survey take?

A typical domestic survey takes one to two hours on site. The written report and footage follow shortly afterwards.

Do the drains need to be cleared first?

A camera cannot see through a blockage, so a blocked or heavily silted line is jetted clean first. We can do both in one visit.

Will the report be accepted by my solicitor or lender?

Yes. Our reports are written surveys with recorded evidence, suitable for conveyancing, insurance claims and negotiations, and we are happy for them to be shared with the other side’s professionals.
