How A CCTV Drain Survey in Cheltenham Works
Our Cheltenham drain surveyors are highly trained professionals equipped with the latest inspection technology.
They begin by selecting a suitable access point, usually a manhole, and carry out all necessary safety checks.
A specialist camera is then introduced into the drainage system, either mounted on a flexible rod for smaller pipes or on a motorised crawler unit for longer runs and wider diameter drains.
The camera is remotely controlled as it travels through the drainage network, sending live video footage back to the surveyor’s monitor.
The surveyor looks for signs of damage, blockages or structural defects and can capture still images where needed.
Once the drain inspection in Cheltenham is complete, a detailed report is produced, including a drain map and the precise location of any issues identified. The full report and video footage are provided to the customer within 48 hours of the survey.
