CCTV Drain Survey Northern Ireland

CCTV drain survey Northern Ireland services from Blocked Drains NI help identify what is happening inside accessible drainage. A camera can reveal build-up, roots, cracks and damaged joints that are hidden from the surface.

We record the inspection and explain the findings, with a written report and supporting images. The evidence helps you decide whether clearance, cleaning or repairs need attention.

Surveys are available for domestic and commercial properties, recurring blockages and planned checks before a property purchase.

Camera inspections with clear written findings and supporting images

What a Drain Camera Can Check

A CCTV inspection follows the accessible route through the pipework. The findings depend on access and whether a blockage or damage prevents the camera progressing.

Tell us the purpose of the inspection before booking so we can discuss the coverage and any report requirements.

Recurring Blockages

A repeat obstruction can have a cause that clearance alone does not reveal.

The camera can help identify root entry, damaged joints or build-up catching waste inside the pipe.

Drain Condition

Cracks, breaks and displaced joints can affect drainage.

We record visible defects and explain the findings so cleaning or repair options can be considered.

Commercial Surveys

A planned drain inspection can help a business investigate problems before further disruption.

Tell us about site access and opening times so the visit can be discussed around your premises.

Post-Clearance Checks

A camera check can be useful after jetting or clearance.

It helps show whether the accessible line is clear and whether visible damage may have contributed to the blockage.

Damage Detection

Damp ground or recurring trouble may call for a closer look at the pipework.

CCTV can identify visible cracks, collapse or open joints within the part of the drain that can be inspected.

Property Purchase Surveys

A survey can provide information about drains before a purchase.

For mortgage, homebuyer or insurance report requirements, discuss our dedicated survey service before booking.

Mapping and tracing to understand accessible drainage routes


Drain Mapping and Tracing

It is not always clear where a buried drain runs or which inspection points connect. Mapping and tracing can help establish the accessible route and locate relevant junctions or faults.

Blocked Drains NI can mark key points and provide a simple plan for reference. This is useful when you are investigating repeated problems or planning work near drainage.

Discuss the area to be checked and any existing plans when arranging the survey.

From Inspection to Next Steps

The camera findings are explained in plain language, helping you understand what was visible and what may need attention. A survey provides evidence about condition; it does not itself repair the drain.

Recorded Findings

We inspect accessible pipework with the drain camera.

The written report and key images explain what was seen and identify limitations where access is restricted.

Clear Explanation

The inspection findings are discussed in practical language.

If a blockage prevents progress, we explain whether clearance or another visit may be needed to inspect further.

Plan the Right Work

Camera evidence helps focus the next step.

Cleaning, root removal and repairs are considered against the visible condition.

No structural repair is implied by the survey itself.

Drainage Questions

Practical answers before you arrange the work.

It is an inspection of accessible drainage using a small camera. The survey records visible pipe condition, including obstructions, root entry, cracks and damaged joints, with written findings and supporting images.

The price depends on the accessible drainage, the inspection scope and the reporting needed. Explain the purpose of the survey when you enquire so we can discuss the work and costs before the visit.

A camera can show visible damage and help identify the affected section. Mapping and tracing can also help establish the route. Access restrictions or a blockage can limit what can be inspected.
