Regular CCTV drain surveys are essential for landlords to detect hidden problems like cracked pipes, root ingress, and blockages before they escalate into costly emergencies. These checks support legal responsibilities by helping ensure safe and habitable conditions for tenants, while also providing crucial documentation for insurance claims. They reduce the risk of unexpected failures, improve maintenance planning, and show due diligence in protecting property value and tenant satisfaction.
Drainage issues can cause serious damage long before you see the signs. A CCTV drain survey works like an x ray, showing what’s going on underground and helping stop problems early. These inspections provide early risk detection and reveal structural decay across your drainage infrastructure.
Pro Tip: Always request a copy of the CCTV footage—it can be used later for insurance claims or legal evidence.
Book Your CCTV Drain Survey
Avoid costly surprises and stay compliant with a fast, affordable inspection.
Tree roots often grow into damaged pipes. As they spread, they slow water flow and widen cracks. This kind of damage can ruin a drainage system if ignored. A regular CCTV survey helps identify subsurface root growth before it disrupts your property’s drainage.
Leaks can make the soil unstable. As the ground moves, it may affect the building above. A regular survey spots this early and helps prevent damage. It also gives landlords a clear early warning against property damage from underground leaks.
Drainage problems cause tenant complaints. Fixing issues early means fewer problems for everyone. Managing complaints quickly supports tenant satisfaction and smooth rental continuity.
Poor drainage can lead to bad smells, damp, and health risks. That’s trouble with housing regulations too. Early inspections offer a preventative response and help landlords stay compliant.
When the drains work, tenants stay. Avoiding issues helps keep rental agreements going. Preventing disruption helps improve lease agreement renewals.
Pro Tip:Pair your drain survey with a jetting service for better accuracy and long-term protection.
