What is a CCTV Drain Survey Sutton Coldfield?
Using sophisticated remote camera technology that records video and other useful information that may be used to identify drainage problems, a CCTV drainage evaluation assesses drainage systems.
You must place a camera into your drainage system in order to look for any damage (as well as possible causes of it). Using a CCTV camera system, we can spot issues more quickly and precisely and carry out repairs more successfully.
Types of CCTV drainage camera systems
The two main camera kinds that may be used for your CCTV drain survey Sutton Coldfield are a robotic crawler and a push CCTV drainage camera.
A robotic crawler camera is controlled from a console inside a specialised vehicle. The camera is installed on a durable body and has an electric motor to drive the wheels and push it through the pipe. Thanks to technical developments, these cameras are now available in a wide variety of diameters, from 150mm to 2000mm. HD-quality video may also be recorded when LED lighting is added. Our cameras also include articulating arms, rotating camera heads, and zoomable lenses to enable us to pinpoint precisely what is causing your blocked drains.
A push CCTV drainage camera is more usually used when the pipe has a smaller diameter, is vertical, or may have bends that make it difficult for a robotic crawler to use. These cameras feature flexible rods that may be manoeuvred along the pipe by the user and are contained on a small reel. To monitor the camera’s path, a monitor is set above the reel. These cameras also include LED lights to illuminate the inside of the pipe and find problems.
What type of issues can a CCTV drainage survey in Sutton Coldfield find?

- signs of a bad installation or relocation
- Corrosion

CCTV Drain Surveys and Extensions
If you’re thinking of adding on to your Sutton Coldfield house, it’s important to take drainage into account. For instance, if your extension passes over or is adjacent to a public sewer, you could need permission from local sewage undertaker. In addition, pipes may be damaged if a facility is erected over a pre-existing drain or sewer, resulting in leaks, blockages, odours, and maybe even health issues and environmental damages. With the use of our technologies, we can accurately depict the current drainage system and determine whether any upgrades are required before the extension is constructed.
