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