CCTV Drain Surveys
We use the best camera systems available to carry out home buyers surveys and diagnose any damaged or blocked drains. The CCTV footage can help us choose the best and most efficient way to fix or clear the problem. A CCTV drain survey can show deteriorating, collapsed drains, displaced joints, leaking pipes, buried/covered inspection chambers, and poor installations.
Patch lining (non dig repair)
Patch line repairs are used to fix small sections of pipes by inserting an inflatable pipe packer into position, inflating it and leaving it in place whilst a resin coating cures. This type of repair can be more cost effective than excavating a hole or trench. Our expert team can advise when and where this repair method can be best used.
Drain Jetting
We carry a powerful and portable 4000 psi drain jetter, which is more than capable of dislodging stubborn snags and obstructions. When carrying out a CCTV Drain survey, a jetting unit is crucial to start the process; a clean, clear drain ensures we don't miss any defects. Even a very dirty inspection chamber can be cleaned for better use and to get rid of any bad smells stopping them from lingering about.
Drain locating
Core Groundwork's York Ltd has specialist equipment to trace and locate drains. Whether pinpointing a problem, or even locating the overflow pipe within the soakaway field of a sceptic tank we can save you valuable time and money.

Frequently asked questions

We get asked a number of similar questions so we made a list of common answers to help you get the information you need quickly.

If you would like to know more, have any other questions, or would like to discuss how our services can help you, then please get in touch with our team of groundworks experts.

Why do I need a CCTV drain inspection?
When your showers, sinks, or bath are draining slowly (or not at all), it could be that you have a blockage or damaged pipe somewhere along the line. If you have temporary problems that keep reoccuring, then you may have a larger issue. Our CCTV drain inspections can help identify the real cause of the issue quickly and efficiently.
What's involved in a CCTV survey?
Using our high-tech equipment, we insert a small cable that houses a camera into your drain and move it into the right spot to see what's going on in your drain(s). Being able to see directly what's going on means we can diagnose the root cause of your issues and determine the right solution to fix them.
What are your prices for a CCTV drain survey?
Our prices can vary depending on what work needs to be done. However, our initial CCTV drain inspection allows us to make sure we can diagnose the issue correctly first time and avoid any unnecessary work, thus saving you money.
How long does a drain inspection last?
Again, this can vary depending on the issue you have and the configuration of your drains. A comprehensive CCTV drain survey can take up to a couple of hours. Because they allow us see the root of the issue quickly, they save many hours of traditional investigative work.
If you find any issues, such as a blockage, how do you deal with them?
Once identified, problems such as blockages can be usually cleared using a combination of rods jetting units. For larger, more complex problems, such as damaged pipes, we may need to reline them or use specialist cutting tools to fix them.
