CCTV Drain Surveys in Wem
Camera surveys of drains and private sewers with a recorded video and written report, for repeat blockages, home purchases and pre-works checks. Serving Wem and the surrounding villages, including Clive, Loppington, Edstaston, Aston.
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 villages around Wem grew up along lanes rather than sewers, and most outlying properties run on private drainage. Older cottages often have tanks of considerable age and uncertain history, and nearby Wem Moss, like the other mosses, marks ground where drainage has always needed care.
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 Wem
Wem offers some of north Shropshire’s more affordable rural property, from town terraces to village cottages and smallholdings. That draws first-time rural buyers who have never owned a septic tank before, and we spend a fair amount of time here explaining systems to new owners and putting inherited problems right.
What the service includes
- Full CCTV surveys of foul and surface water systems

- 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

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.
