Understanding your Ferndown property's drainage condition is essential, particularly for homes built in the 1960s and 70s when materials with limited lifespans were commonly used. Our CCTV surveys reveal the condition of pipes beneath your property, helping plan maintenance before emergencies occur.
Contact us to arrange a convenient time. We arrive at your Ferndown property typically within 60-90 minutes with self-contained survey equipment — no preparation is needed on your part.
We access the drainage system through manholes or inspection chambers and feed a high-definition waterproof camera through the entire pipe network.
The camera transmits real-time footage to a monitor, allowing us to identify cracks, root ingress, displaced joints, blockages, and other defects as we progress.
You receive a written report with annotated screenshots, a pipe condition summary, and prioritised recommendations for any repairs or maintenance needed.
We systematically survey your accessible drainage, recording footage and noting findings. The resulting report provides a clear picture of your system's condition, with recommendations prioritised by urgency.
Local tip: Ferndown properties from the 1960s-70s era should have a drainage survey before any major renovation — understanding pipe condition prevents expensive surprises mid-project.

Properties such as 1960s-80s family housing, modern executive homes, commercial units, and suburban properties with larger drainage networks may sit towards the upper end.
