Finding the cause.
The plumber feeds a camera along the drain from a suitable access point and shows you what it finds: blockages, roots, cracks, displaced joints, sections holding water. Where it matters, they mark the fault on the surface so its depth and position are known before anyone digs.
A camera fixes nothing. It stops you digging in the wrong place. Heavy build-up or standing water can block the view, so some drains need clearing before they can be inspected. Ask which sections can be reached and what you get at the end.
What to send us
Find any old drain reports, footage or site plans. Tell us which fixtures are affected and where the inspection openings are. If a builder, insurer or another trade needs footage or a written summary, mention it up front so the job is scoped for it.
What moves the price
Drain length, access, whether it needs clearing first, and whether you want locating and a written report all change the job. A look at one problem section costs less than a full condition survey of the property. Typical cCTV drain inspections prices in Ipswich ↗ Wondering whether a camera is worth it?
