Drain Camera Inspection for Blockages

A CCTV survey usually identifies what’s causing repeat blockages—whether it’s build-up, pipe damage, roots, or an obstruction further down the line.

Drain Damage, Cracks & Collapses

Detecting cracked, displaced or collapsed pipework that can lead to leaks, sinkholes and constant drainage issues—ideal before committing to repairs.

Root Ingress Drain Defect Inspections

Locating root entry points and failed joints so we can recommend the right fix (clearing, sealing, relining or repair) to reduce repeat problems, and get your drains back to normal.

Pre-Purchase Homebuyer Drain Checks

A CCTV drain inspection can reveal hidden defects and costly issues that aren’t obvious during a standard property viewing.

Pre- and Post-Repair CCTV Verification

Honestly can't fault Billy, turned up quickly to unblock a downpipe which was causing damp inside my house and then followed up with replacing the whole lot. Communications were excellent and I was particularly impressed by the fact he messaged me to let me know he was on his way. Well impressed!

Billy came out to a blocked drain at my house within the hour. Billy cleared the blockage, explained the issue and the cause, showing me images through the drain camera and what we need to do next to resolve long term. Billy is open and honest and explains thoroughly...he also resolves. 100% would always use NW Drainage. Thanks again

Great service. Our outside drain had been broken into and blocked by tree roots and needed replacing. In just a few hours the roots were removed, the drains were replaced and the whole area was left much tidier and easier to maintain. Billy explained everything before, during and after so that I knew what was being done and there were no surprises. I would highly recommend Northwest Drainage 24/7. Pics of before and after.

Billy was super informative, efficient and resolved our drainage issues promptly. He really did save the day and discovered a problem we didn’t realise the severity / would not have been able to locate ourselves. Would recommend completely. Fair and reasonable pricing for excellent service.

FAQs: CCTV drain surveys in Bolton.

What is a CCTV drain survey?

A CCTV drain survey uses a specialist camera to inspect inside your pipework. It helps identify blockages, damage, root ingress, poor connections, and structural defects—and shows exactly where the problem is.

When should I book a CCTV drain survey?

It’s recommended if you have recurring blockages, ongoing bad smells, slow drainage, suspected drain damage, or if you want a homebuyer/pre-purchase check.

Will a CCTV survey fix the problem as well?

A survey is primarily diagnostic, but if the issue is a simple blockage and access allows, we can often recommend next steps immediately—such as unblocking, jetting, repairs or relining.

Do you need to dig to carry out a CCTV survey?

Usually not. CCTV inspections are typically carried out via existing access points such as manholes, rodding eyes, or inspection chambers, keeping disruption to a minimum.

What happens after the survey?

We’ll explain what we’ve found in plain English, outline the best options (e.g., jetting, repair, relining), and advise the most cost-effective route to prevent the problem returning.
