Define the inspection purpose
Returning backups, suspected defects and a property purchase may require different coverage. Identify affected facilities, previous repairs and available drawings or footage. For a purchase, confirm your property adviser requirements before booking.
Visibility and reachable routes
The camera records where it can travel and see the pipe surface. Deposits, wastewater or an obstruction may limit useful inspection. Preparation or clearance may be needed, with extra work and cost agreed separately. Ask which sections remain inaccessible or obscured.
Using recorded observations
Visible signs may include roots, joint defects or restrictions. Discuss their position and relationship to symptoms. If cleaning or repair is recommended, ask how it addresses the finding. Pipe location and access may affect options. Further investigation may be needed before a repair scope is agreed.
Documentation and active backups
Discuss footage, written findings and location information before attendance. A drainage inspection does not replace checks outside its agreed scope. A clear reachable section cannot establish the condition of uninspected branches. Report an active overflow: the camera does not remove an obstruction, and clearance may need separate consideration.
Cranbrook access and booking details
Provide the full Cranbrook, Kent address and postcode, specific premises and entry contact. Describe available chambers and rodding points without lifting heavy covers yourself. Arrange permission for shared areas or routes through another occupier’s property.
Rats and suspected drain entry routes in Cranbrook
If you suspect rats are entering your Cranbrook property through the drainage, explain where activity has been seen and share any findings from a pest controller. A targeted camera inspection may reveal open connections, damaged pipework or redundant branches within accessible drains. Seeing a defect does not, by itself, prove that it is the route being used.
Drainage findings should be considered alongside the pest investigation. Any repair or suitable barrier needs an assessment of the pipe layout, access and flow; a rat blocker is not appropriate for every drain. Discuss the drainage work separately from pest treatment. Read our guide to rats in drains, investigation and prevention.
Survey prices, footage and follow-up
Before accepting a CCTV survey quote, confirm:
- Which drain runs are included and what happens if the camera cannot reach them.
- Whether preparatory unblocking or cleaning is included or charged separately.
- Which video, images or written findings will be supplied, and when.
- Whether locating a defect, a return visit or any repairs require a separate quote.
Provide any buyer, surveyor or insurer requirements before booking. Our CCTV survey and reporting guide explains how to compare inspection scopes and understand the limitations.
