Our drainage team carries out CCTV drain surveys that identify faults without digging.
The camera inspection shows the issue quickly, avoiding slow and costly excavation.
We use advanced equipment to survey pipes from 3 inches up to 60 inches, and we can provide a full recording of your drain runs.
We carry out CCTV drain surveys across Southampton. The inspection will flag cracks, collapses, blockages, root intrusion, and any non-biodegradable waste causing obstruction. If repairs are needed, we can supply a clear, competitive quote.

Home Buyer’s Drain Surveys
Before you buy a property, book a Homebuyer’s Drain Survey with Southampton Drainage. The survey checks the condition of the pipes before you commit to the purchase.
A survey will highlight leaks, damage and any repairs you may face once you move in. This is especially valuable for older or period homes, where the drainage system may not have been inspected or updated for years.
Identifying problems early can prevent major costs later. With the report, you can ask the seller to resolve issues or use the findings to negotiate the price.
