CCTV drainage surveys provide a detailed assessment of drainage condition and can support both reactive investigations and planned asset management.

Surveys are commonly required for:

• Recurring blockages or drainage failures

• Suspected damaged or collapsed pipework

• Flooding, surcharging or poor drainage performance

• Pre-acquisition and condition surveys

• Planned preventative maintenance

• Pre- and post-construction inspections

• Scottish Water adoption requirements

• Investigation following subsidence or water ingress

• Root intrusion or recurring obstructions

• Planning remedial drainage works

Our survey equipment allows us to inspect a wide range of commercial drainage systems, from smaller internal and external drainage runs through to larger-diameter pipework.

Depending on the site and drainage system, we can utilise:

• Mainline crawler camera systems

• Push-rod CCTV systems

• Sonde locating

• High-pressure water jetting prior to survey where required

• Jet-vac tanker support for heavily silted or restricted systems

• Drain tracing and investigation

• Detailed defect identification and coding

This allows us to select the most appropriate survey method for the site rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach.

Depending on the scope of the survey, clients can receive:

• Detailed CCTV inspection of accessible drainage

• Recorded survey footage

• Identification and location of defects

• Pipe condition and defect information

• Drainage layout information where applicable

• Photographs and supporting evidence

• Clear written findings

• Recommendations for remedial works or ongoing maintenance

Our aim is to provide information that can be practically used by facilities teams, contractors, surveyors and property professionals.

Where detailed reporting is required, Equiflo uses professional drainage reporting software including WinCan to provide structured survey information and recorded footage.

Reports can identify defects such as fractures, displaced joints, deformation, root ingress, deposits, obstructions and structural deterioration, helping clients understand both the condition of the system and any action required.

Identifying the problem is only the first stage.

Where a CCTV survey identifies defects or maintenance requirements, Equiflo can provide recommendations and quotations for the appropriate remedial works.

Our wider drainage capability includes high-pressure water jetting, tanker services, root cutting, planned maintenance, trenchless repair solutions, excavation and pipe replacement.

This enables us to support clients from initial investigation and reporting through to repair and ongoing maintenance.

We provide CCTV drainage surveys across a wide range of commercial environments, including:

• Facilities management

• Commercial property

• Construction

• Industrial and manufacturing

• Education

• Retail and hospitality

• Healthcare

• Public-sector estates

• Multi-site organisations

Absolutely, it can catch any issues before they become a problem.

With operational coverage across Scotland, Equiflo supports both individual commercial sites and organisations managing multiple properties.

Surveys can be undertaken as a standalone investigation or incorporated into wider drainage maintenance, condition assessment or remedial programmes.
