How A CCTV Drain Survey in Gloucester Works
Our drain surveyors in Gloucester are knowledgeable experts, equipped with the latest technology.
They begin by choosing an appropriate access point – usually a manhole – and review all the safety protocols.
Next a camera is deployed into the pipework of the drain system, attached to a flexible rod for a short narrow pipe, or attached to a motorised crawler unit for longer journeys along wider diameter drains.
The camera is remotely controlled, navigating through the drain network, transmitting live video back to the surveyor’s monitor.
The surveyor is alert for any signs of damage, blockage or structural problems, and can capture still images if required.
After the drain exploration in Gloucester is complete the surveyor compiles a detailed report, including a drain map, noting the location of any defects found. This, along with a video, is available to the customer within 48 hours of the drain survey.
