To avoid more problems later on, it’s crucial to identify the cause of your clogged drains. One difficulty with drains is that you can’t identify the problem without spending money and causing disruption by digging. What is the solution, then? Argo-Drains can avoid this trouble by performing a CCTV drain survey in Wolverhampton.
We would also be pleased to assist if you are moving and want the drains examined before you buy. We are well-known among area surveyors and estate agents, and our survey reports are appropriate for inclusion in a homebuyer’s report.

What is a CCTV Drain Survey Wolverhampton?
A CCTV drainage assessment evaluates drainage systems utilising sophisticated remote camera equipment that captures video and other helpful information that may be utilised to identify drainage problems.
To detect any damage to your drainage system, it entails inserting a camera there (as well as possible causes of it). We can identify problems more quickly and precisely utilising a CCTV camera system, and repairs can be done more effectively as well.
Types of CCTV drainage camera systems
A robotic crawler as well as a push CCTV drainage camera are the two major types of cameras that may be utilised for your CCTV drain survey Wolverhampton.
Through a console inside a specialty vehicle, a robotic crawler camera is operated. With an electric motor to move the wheels and propel it through the pipe, the camera is mounted on a tough body. These cameras now available in a broad range of diameters, ranging from 150mm to 2000mm, thanks to technological advancements. With LED illumination installed, HD-quality video may also be captured. To precisely determine what is causing your blocked drains, our cameras also feature articulating arms, camera heads that can swivel and revolve, and lenses that can zoom in and out.
When the pipe has a smaller diameter, is vertical, or may have curves that make it more difficult for a robotic crawler to utilise, a push CCTV drainage camera is more frequently employed. These cameras have flexible rods attached to the end that are housed on a tiny reel and can be manoeuvred along the pipe by the operator. A monitor is placed atop the reel to watch the camera’s path. In order to illuminate the inside of the pipe and detect flaws, these cameras are also equipped with LED lights.
What type of issues can a CCTV drainage survey in Wolverhampton find?
A CCTV survey is a rapid, non-intrusive, and affordable approach to find drainage issues, whether they are minor drain blockages that can be easily fixed or major drain or pipe collapses that require immediate attention.
The following problems will be revealed by our CCTV drainage study, which you can then fix and include in a planned preventive maintenance (PPM) programme to keep your drains operating for years to come:
- Blockages
- Scale Build Up
- Signs of poor installation or displacement
- Corrosion
- Wear and Tear
- Leaks
- Displaced joints
- Cracked and collapsed drains
Note: It can sometimes be necessary to clean the drains with jetter washing prior to a CCTV survey in order to clean the pipe which helps to identify if the pipes are cracked when they are scaled up.
CCTV Drain Surveys and Extensions
It’s crucial to consider how the proposed project can effect your drainage if you’re considering an addition to your Wolverhampton property. For instance, you might require approval from your sewerage undertaker if your addition crosses over or is in close proximity to a public sewer. Additionally, if a structure is built over an existing drain or sewer, the pipes may be damaged, leading to leaks, clogs, odours, and maybe even health problems and environmental harm. Our technology can provide a precise picture of the present drainage system and indicate whether improvements are necessary before the addition is built.
CCTV Surveys and Moving House in Wolverhampton
Another occasion why you might want to consider obtaining a CCTV inspection is if you’re moving to a new house. This can help you find any drainage issues before to purchasing the property, which may be helpful as you can negotiate with the sellers to address any issues before purchasing. This may be better than buying the house outright and waiting for troubles to occur because you will now own the property and be responsible for resolving any concerns. Please get in touch with us right immediately so we can examine your drains and see if there are any issues.
