Whether you’re buying a home, managing a property, or experiencing persistent drainage issues, understanding the condition of your underground pipework is essential.
At Drain Care South West, we provide CCTV drain surveys for homes and businesses across Plymouth, offering a clear view of what’s happening below the surface, without the need for digging or disruption.

🔍 What is a CCTV Drain Survey?
A CCTV drain survey uses specialist camera equipment to inspect the inside of your drainage system. The camera is inserted into the drains and sends back high resolution video footage, allowing our engineers to spot issues like:
Blockages and debris
Collapsed or damaged pipes
Tree root intrusion
Signs of wear and tear
Drain misalignment or poor connections
This method gives a fast and accurate diagnosis of drainage problems, which means we can recommend the most effective, targeted solution without unnecessary work or guesswork.

🏡 Why CCTV Drain Surveys Matter in Plymouth
Properties in Plymouth range from modern builds to older homes with ageing drainage systems. A CCTV survey helps identify existing or potential problems before they escalate, saving you money, time, and stress.
✅ Home Buyers: A pre-purchase drain survey can reveal hidden issues that might not show up in standard surveys, protecting you from unexpected repair costs after moving in.
✅ Landlords & Letting Agents: Regular drain surveys help manage risk, maintain property standards, and resolve tenant complaints quickly.
✅ Homeowners & Businesses: If you’ve noticed slow draining sinks, bad smells, or recurring blockages, a CCTV survey provides the clearest way to get to the root of the problem.
