Why consider a CCTV drain survey
CCTV drain surveys are in‑depth inspections using high‑tech cameras to assess the condition of your drains. GPRS explains that they are the fastest and best way to completely assess drains and sewers; the survey pinpoints the exact location of a blockage or leak and helps prevent further issues.
Drain cameras can show the condition of drains, build‑up or corrosion, collapsing pipes and tree roots. GPRS recommends including CCTV drain surveys as part of an annual preventative maintenance plan.
If you are buying a property or experiencing repeated blockages, a CCTV survey can identify structural damage and root intrusion so you can plan repairs early. Cheshire West and Chester Council notes that flood‑risk properties may still be vulnerable even if they have never flooded before, so early detection of drainage issues can protect your property.

Frequently asked questions
When should I request help for drain unblocking?
If water is backing up, the WC will not clear, drains are very slow, there is standing water outside, or there are persistent bad smells, it is best to request help promptly. Early drain unblocking can reduce the risk of property damage, wastewater exposure and a more serious blockage.
Who is responsible for a blocked drain?
In most cases, the homeowner or landlord is responsible for drains and private sewers up to the point where they connect with the public sewer. Ofwat explains that this connection point is usually at the boundary of the property. If the blockage is in pipework owned by the sewerage company, United Utilities says it will usually clear it for free.
What causes most blocked drains?
Common causes include wet wipes, fat, oil, grease, food waste, silt, leaves, scale build-up, root ingress and damaged pipework. GOV.UK states that wet wipes contribute to 94% of sewer blockages, which is why wipes should be put in the bin rather than flushed.
Can I request help for a blocked toilet?
Yes. You can submit an enquiry for a blocked toilet, slow flushing toilet, overflowing toilet, or related drainage issue.
Is it safe to open a drain or manhole myself?
You can usually check for obvious surface debris around a visible outside drain, but deeper chambers and confined spaces should be treated carefully. The Health and Safety Executive warns that confined spaces can involve risks such as noxious fumes, reduced oxygen, flooding, drowning and asphyxiation.
