A CCTV drain survey sends a waterproof camera through your pipework to show cracks, root ingress, misaligned joints, collapses or blockages on screen, in real time. It takes the guesswork out of drainage problems, especially recurring ones or issues on a property you're about to buy.
We'll talk you through what the camera finds as we go, and if you need a written report — for a property purchase, an insurance claim, or a dispute over responsibility with a neighbour or Scottish Water — we can provide one.
Buying a tenement flat or a villa in Morningside? The footage shows every owner on the stair exactly where a problem is, which makes agreeing who pays far easier.

Questions people ask
Do I need a survey before buying a house?
It's a sensible check if the property is older or has had drainage issues mentioned in a search — a survey costs far less than discovering a collapsed pipe after you've moved in.
Can the footage be used for an insurance claim?
Yes — we can provide a written report alongside the footage, which most insurers and solicitors will accept as evidence of the drain's condition.
