Understanding your Swanage property's drainage is essential, particularly given the coastal environment's effects on pipe materials and the local limestone geology. Our CCTV surveys reveal the true condition of your drainage, providing information that surface inspection cannot achieve.
Contact us to arrange a convenient time. We arrive at your Swanage property typically within 60-75 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 specific to Swanage's coastal drainage environment.
Local tip: Swanage property buyers should always commission a pre-purchase CCTV drain survey — coastal drainage ages faster than inland systems, and hidden issues are common.
A standard residential CCTV drain survey in Swanage typically costs between £150 and £300 depending on property size and drainage complexity. We provide a fixed quote beforehand. Properties such as Victorian stone terraces, period cottages, modern family housing, and coastal properties with larger drainage networks may sit towards the upper end.
We strongly recommend a pre-purchase drain survey for Swanage properties, especially older builds. Hidden drainage defects can cost thousands to repair and are not covered by standard homebuyer surveys. A CCTV inspection gives you negotiating power and peace of mind.
A typical residential survey in Swanage takes between one and two hours. You receive the full report with annotated footage within 24 hours. Larger properties or those with complex drainage layouts may require additional time.
