A CCTV Drainage Survey provides a detailed assessment of the condition of all accessible drainage runs within a specified site area. At Intersect Surveys, we utilise advanced CCTV technology to deliver accurate and comprehensive drainage surveys tailored to your needs.
CCTV Drainage
When you commission a CCTV Drainage Survey, our experienced survey team begins by locating and accessing all manhole covers on-site. This allows us to gather essential pipe and chamber information, including depths, diameters, and flow directions. We then insert a high-resolution camera unit into the drainage pipes. This footage provides a clear view of any cracks, deformations, root intrusions, debris build-up, or other structural issues that may compromise drainage performance.
To enhance accuracy, our CCTV camera units are equipped with a built-in sonde, allowing us to trace the exact route of the drainage network. When combined with our RD8000 cable locator, this system provides precise depth and positional data at any point along the drainage route. This ensures a thorough and reliable mapping of your drainage system.

How We Can Help
After completing the survey, we compile a detailed drainage report, which includes high-quality CCTV footage, comprehensive pipe and chamber data, and accurate mapping of the entire system. Our reports highlight any defects, potential problem areas, or necessary remedial actions.
Whether you need a pre-purchase drainage assessment, routine inspection, or investigative survey following flooding or drainage failure, Intersect Surveys provides expert, technology-driven solutions to ensure your drainage network is functioning at its best.

Frequently asked questions
What is a CCTV Drainage Survey, and why is it necessary?
How does Intersect Surveys conduct CCTV Drainage Surveys?
Intersect Surveys conducts CCTV Drainage Surveys by lifting all manhole covers on-site to access the drainage system. We then insert a camera unit into the pipes, capturing footage as it traverses the drainage runs. Our camera units are equipped with a built-in 'sonde' and coupled with an RD8000 cable locator, enabling precise tracing of the drainage route and accurate position and depth measurements along the way.
What information is included in the CCTV Drainage Survey report?
Our CCTV Drainage Survey reports provide a comprehensive overview of the drainage system's condition, including footage from the survey, pipe and chamber information (such as depth), and precise mapping data. This detailed information allows property owners to identify any issues or areas of concern within their drainage infrastructure and make informed decisions regarding maintenance and repairs.
