CCTV Drain Surveys
in West Lothian
At West Lothian Drainage Services, our CCTV drain surveys provide a precise and non-invasive method for diagnosing drainage issues. Using state-of-the-art cameras, we perform a thorough inspection of your underground pipes, identifying blockages, cracks, root intrusions, or structural damage with pinpoint accuracy. This technology allows us to see inside your drainage system in real time, providing clear visual evidence of any problems without the need for excavation. After the survey, we provide a detailed report, including footage and expert recommendations on the best course of action.
Whether it's for routine maintenance, diagnosing a recurring issue, or pre-purchase inspections, our CCTV surveys help to ensure your drainage system is functioning properly and highlight any potential concerns before they become major problems.
CCTV drain inspections involve using specialised cameras to inspect the inside of drainage systems, providing a clear and detailed view of the pipes without the need for excavation. A small, waterproof camera is inserted into the drain and travels through the pipe, capturing high-quality footage of the interior. This allows experts to identify issues such as blockages, cracks, collapsed sections, root intrusion, or misaligned joints.
Pre and post-build CCTV surveys and reports are detailed inspections of drainage systems carried out before and after construction projects to ensure that existing drains are in good condition and to check for any damage caused during building work. These surveys use specialised CCTV cameras to assess the state of underground pipes, providing a thorough visual record of the drainage system.
Pre and post-site CCTV surveys and reports are comprehensive inspections of drainage systems conducted before and after work on a site, such as land development, roadworks, or large-scale maintenance projects. These surveys use CCTV cameras to inspect and document the condition of the underground pipes, ensuring that the drainage system is not compromised during site activities.
We can provide a comprehensive home buyers drain service, giving you a full and thorough appraisal of any potential risks and faults with the drainage system before they become a problem.
Mainline CCTV drain surveys are specialised inspections of large, primary drainage or sewer systems using high-tech CCTV cameras. These surveys are typically conducted on main sewer lines or extensive drainage networks that service multiple properties or larger areas, such as public roads, industrial complexes, or commercial buildings.
The process involves inserting a robust, waterproof camera into the mainline drain, which is then guided through the system to capture real-time footage of the pipe's interior. This allows experts to inspect the condition of the pipes, identifying issues such as blockages, cracks, collapses, root intrusions, or general wear and tear.
Track and Trace CCTV surveys are a specialised method used to accurately locate and map the layout of underground drainage systems. This type of survey involves sending a CCTV camera into the drain, which is equipped with a transmitter. As the camera moves through the drainage system, the transmitter sends signals to a surface receiver, allowing technicians to track the exact location and depth of the pipes in real time.
WinCan reporting software is a specialised tool used in the drainage industry to collect, analyse, and report data from CCTV drain surveys. It helps document the condition of underground drainage systems by capturing detailed video footage and diagnostic information during inspections. The software allows technicians to organise and assess this data, creating comprehensive, standardised reports that include images, video clips, and detailed descriptions of any issues found, such as blockages, cracks, or structural defects.
