Home Buyers Drainage Surveys have become increasingly common across the UK and Ireland, as building surveyors now recognise their critical importance. Whether purchasing a domestic property or a commercial building, it is strongly recommended to have a drainage survey conducted by a fully certified professional.
Our surveyors are NADC-registered and hold Certified Drainage Surveyor (CDS) qualifications, ensuring expert assessments you can trust.
CCTV Drain Surveys
Professional Drain Inspections Using Advanced Camera Technology
What Is a CCTV Drain Survey?
A CCTV drain survey is a detailed internal inspection of your drainage system using high-definition camera equipment. It allows us to identify blockages, cracks, root ingress, collapses and structural defects without excavation.
At Downham Drainage, we provide accurate, evidence-based diagnostics across West Norfolk for homeowners, landlords and commercial clients.
We do not guess. We inspect, record and report.

When Do You Need a CCTV Drain Survey?
You may require a survey if you are experiencing:
-
Recurring blockages
-
Slow-draining sinks or toilets
-
Foul odours from drains
-
Damp patches near drainage runs
-
Suspected collapsed pipes

Buying or selling a property
CCTV surveys are also recommended before drain lining or major repair works.

What Can CCTV Surveys Detect?
Homebuyer Drain Surveys
If you are purchasing a property, a CCTV survey can identify hidden drainage defects before exchange.
Undetected drain issues can lead to costly repairs after completion. Our comprehensive reports meet the requirements of all involved parties, including solicitors handling CON29DW (Water and Drainage) searches.
