Whether you're buying a Victorian house on Prospect Street or investigating drainage at your Emmer Green family home, our CCTV surveys provide the detailed assessment you need. We reveal the true condition of pipes beneath Caversham's diverse range of properties.
Contact us to arrange a convenient time. We arrive at your Caversham 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 Caversham properties thoroughly, documenting all drainage routes including connections to outbuildings and extensions. Reports are detailed and professional, suitable for property transactions and insurance purposes.
Local tip: Planning an extension on your Caversham home? A pre-build CCTV drain survey identifies any pipes that need protecting or redirecting before construction begins, particularly important on Caversham's sloping sites.
A standard residential CCTV drain survey in Caversham typically costs between £150 and £300 depending on property size and drainage complexity. We provide a fixed quote beforehand. Properties such as Victorian and Edwardian terraces, 1930s semis, post-war family homes, modern apartments, and riverside properties with larger drainage networks may sit towards the upper end.
We strongly recommend a pre-purchase drain survey for Caversham 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.
