CCTV Drain Surveys.
See what is happening underground. AJS uses specialist CCTV drain inspection equipment to investigate drainage problems, identify defects and help determine the appropriate next step.
Don't guess.
Investigate.
When a drain repeatedly blocks or a drainage problem cannot be explained from the surface, the problem may be somewhere inside the pipework.
CCTV drain surveying allows our engineers to inspect drains, sewers and faulty pipework remotely using specialist camera equipment.
This can help identify the location and nature of a drainage problem without relying on guesswork or unnecessary excavation.

Find the cause.
Not just the symptom.
CCTV investigation can help establish what is happening inside a drainage system and identify problems that may otherwise remain hidden.
Blockages
Investigate obstructions and recurring blockage problems within the drainage system.
Pipe Damage
Inspect pipework for visible damage that may be contributing to drainage problems.
Displaced Joints
CCTV footage can help reveal joint problems and defects within underground drainage.
Recurring Problems
Find out why a drain continues to block after the immediate obstruction has been cleared.

Why does the drain
keep blocking?
Clearing a blockage solves the immediate problem, but when the same drain repeatedly blocks there may be an underlying defect inside the pipe.
A CCTV drain survey allows the drainage system to be inspected internally so the condition of the pipework can be assessed and the source of the problem investigated.
In suitable situations, specialist no-dig drain repair and lining techniques may provide an alternative to traditional excavation. The appropriate repair depends on the condition of the pipe and the defect identified during investigation.
When should you book
a CCTV drain survey?
CCTV inspection is particularly useful when the cause of a drainage problem is not obvious or when the same issue keeps returning.

See it.
Understand it.
Tell Us The Problem
Explain what has been happening with your drainage and whether the problem has occurred before.
Access The Drain
The appropriate access point is used so CCTV equipment can be introduced into the drainage system.
Inspect
The camera is guided through the drain so the internal condition and potential defects can be examined.
Next Step
The findings help determine the appropriate clearing, investigation or repair option.
The camera finds it.
Then we decide how to fix it.
CCTV inspection can provide the information needed to move from a recurring drainage symptom to an appropriate repair strategy. Depending on what is found, the next step may range from clearing the drain to specialist repair or lining.
Quick answers.
What is a CCTV drain survey?
A CCTV drain survey uses specialist camera equipment to inspect the inside of drains and pipework. It allows drainage problems and visible defects to be investigated without needing to expose the entire pipe.
Why does my drain keep blocking?
Repeated blockages can indicate that there is more than an isolated obstruction. CCTV investigation can help identify whether an underlying problem is contributing to the blockage returning.
Can CCTV locate a damaged drain?
CCTV equipment allows engineers to visually inspect drainage pipework and can help identify the position and nature of visible defects within the system.
What happens after the CCTV survey?
The findings can be used to determine the appropriate next step. This may involve drain clearing, further investigation, conventional repair or a suitable specialist no-dig repair technique.
