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.

The farming villages around Newport are classic off-mains country, and the moorland fringe adds properties where high groundwater has always shaped what drainage is possible. Systems here range from brand new plants on farm diversifications to Victorian brick tanks still soldiering on.

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 Newport

Newport’s market mixes town houses with farmhouses, smallholdings and equestrian properties, plus a steady churn linked to the agricultural economy. Drainage inspections are a growing feature of sales here, particularly for smallholdings where the system serves more than just the house.

What the service includes

  • Full CCTV surveys of foul and surface water systems
  • Pre-purchase drainage surveys, with septic system inspections available alongside
  • Investigation of repeat blockages, odours and slow drains
  • Locating buried runs, connections and defects with position and depth
  • Recorded footage plus a plain-English written report
  • Condition surveys before extensions or landscaping, so you do not build over a defect

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.
