CCTV Drain Surveys — frequently asked questions
What does a CCTV drain survey show?
A CCTV survey shows the internal condition of your drains, identifying blockages, cracks, root ingress, collapsed sections, and other issues with detailed footage.
Do I need a drain survey before buying a house?
We strongly recommend a pre-purchase drain survey. It can reveal hidden issues that could cost thousands to repair, giving you negotiating power or peace of mind.
How long does a CCTV drain survey take?
A typical residential survey takes 1-2 hours. You'll receive a detailed report with footage showing the condition of your drainage system.

No, Stockport Plumber never charges a call-out fee. You only pay for the work we actually carry out, and we confirm the price before we begin.
