With Solihull's premium property values, understanding your drainage condition is a smart investment that protects your home. Our CCTV surveys provide detailed assessments for buyers, sellers, and homeowners across Knowle, Dorridge, Shirley, and surrounding areas, revealing the true condition of pipes beneath these sought-after properties.
Contact us to arrange a convenient time. We arrive at your Solihull property typically within 45-60 minutes with self-contained survey equipment — no preparation is needed on your part.
We access the drainage system through manholes or inspection chambers and feed a high-definition waterproof camera through the entire pipe network.
The camera transmits real-time footage to a monitor, allowing us to identify cracks, root ingress, displaced joints, blockages, and other defects as we progress.
You receive a written report with annotated screenshots, a pipe condition summary, and prioritised recommendations for any repairs or maintenance needed.
We survey Solihull properties thoroughly, documenting all drainage routes including connections to extensions, garages, and outbuildings. Reports are detailed and professional, suitable for property transactions, insurance purposes, and planning applications.
Local tip: Buying in Solihull's established areas like Knowle or Hampton-in-Arden? A pre-purchase CCTV drain survey can reveal hidden issues that could cost significantly more to fix after completion.
A standard residential CCTV drain survey in Solihull typically costs between £150 and £300 depending on property size and drainage complexity. We provide a fixed quote beforehand. Properties such as detached executive homes, Edwardian villas, 1930s semis, modern estates, and rural properties with larger drainage networks may sit towards the upper end.
We strongly recommend a pre-purchase drain survey for Solihull properties, especially older builds. Hidden drainage defects can cost thousands to repair and are not covered by standard homebuyer surveys. A CCTV inspection gives you negotiating power and peace of mind.
