CCTV Drain Surveys
Specialist cameras identify drainage problems in minutes: cracks, blockages, displaced joints, root obstruction and collapsed drains.
How it works
CCTV Drain Surveys in London and Essex
A CCTV survey removes the guesswork. We push a high-resolution camera through the system, record the condition of the pipework and give you footage plus a written recommendation. It is the standard evidence for insurance claims, pre-purchase reports and recurring blockage disputes.
- Footage and written report supplied
- Finds cracks, displaced joints, root ingress and collapses
- Ideal for home buyers, insurers and managing agents
- Pinpoints the exact depth and location before any excavation
Who books a survey
Four reasons people call us for a camera survey
Buying a home
A homebuyer survey does not look inside the drains. Ours does, before you exchange, so you can negotiate on evidence.
Read the buyer's guideDrains that keep blocking
Cleared twice and blocked again? Something is catching the waste. The camera shows exactly what, and where.
Insurance claims
Dated footage and a written report are what insurers ask for. We mark where responsibility sits too.
Landlords and businesses
Evidence for tenants, freeholders and managing agents, plus planned surveys for kitchens and commercial sites.
What you get
Not just a video. A report you can act on.
Footage on its own means little unless you know what you are looking at. Every survey comes with a written report built around six things.
- 01
Recorded footage
Every run inspected, recorded and yours to keep.
- 02
Drainage layout
A plan of where the pipes run and how they connect.
- 03
Defects located
Each fault logged with its distance from the chamber.
- 04
Severity graded
So you can see at a glance what is urgent.
- 05
Responsibility marked
What is yours, and what belongs to the water company.
- 06
Clear recommendations
What to fix, how, and what can safely wait.

Reviews
What our customers say
Real feedback from homeowners, landlords and site managers across London and Essex.
“Keemz was amazing! Arrived on time, got to work, got the job done. I thought that was it. What really made me leave a review here was the fact that he spent time afterwards verifying, testing, asking me to test and then cleaned up the site and even offered to put a drain cover as that was missing. Needless to say this type of experience is rare in this trade, but WOW! Definitely recommend Rapid Drainage to anyone any day. Keep up the good work guys!”
