CCTV Drainage Surveys

Sometimes, it can be difficult to identify problems with drainage systems because they are located underground, and there aren’t always easy-to-identify signs. Lucion’s expert CCTV drainage surveys can support you with early problem detection and preventative maintenance to ensure underground utilities are in good condition and are working correctly.

If ignored or left untreated, drainage issues can escalate into serious problems like recurring blockages, surface flooding, or even subsidence. Using a CCTV camera to identify any potential blockages in pipes, leaks or structural damage, a CCTV drainage survey is a crucial process for homeowners ahead of buying new property, or for business and building owners because it can reveal issues that could lead to costly repairs.

CCTV surveys are a non-invasive and cost-effective solution to identify problems early to prevent major disruptions. There are a number of issues which can be revealed as a result of an expert CCTV drainage survey offered by Lucion. These issues include:

• Blockages, which is an accumulation of debris, grease or other foreign objects
• Structural problems, like cracked, collapsed or misaligned pipes
• Root intrusion, particularly from trees, which can penetrate pipes and cause damage
• Leaks, which can be detected even in hidden sections of a drainage system

Untreated blocked pipes can damage the surrounding environment and nearby homes or other properties through water contamination, potential structural damage and the increased risk of bacteria, disease and contamination of soil and groundwater. Since UK property owners face unprecedented flood and subsidence risks, it is vital that you pay attention to the warning signs of blocked drainage systems.

At Lucion, we use cutting-edge technology to conduct and deliver CCTV drain inspections.

With a Vivax vCam-6 push rod system and mainline pan and tilt crawler systems, operated by experienced drainage surveyors,  we ensure comprehensive CCTV drainage surveys for various pipe diameters, including culverts up to 1.8m in diameter. Our professional full drain survey report is accompanied by AutoCAD drawings to deliver reliable information on your drainage system’s condition.

Encountering small blockages during the survey is inevitable. With van-based drain jetting equipment, we clear localised blockages, ensuring a thorough CCTV drainage survey and a free-flowing drainage network. For larger issues, our Jet-vac recycler and combination tanker units handle debris, blockages, and silt responsibly, with waste disposal meeting regulatory standards.
