If you’re experiencing recurring blockages, leaks, foul smells or just want peace of mind about your drainage, a CCTV drain survey can tell you exactly what’s going on—without digging up your yard.
At Trent’s Drains, we offer high-resolution domestic CCTV drain survey services across Bristol, Reading, Bath, Cardiff, Newport, Gloucester, Swindon, Chippenham, Weston-super-Mare, Taunton, Somerset and Wiltshire. Our surveys deliver detailed footage, accurate diagnosis, and data you can rely on to plan repairs or maintenance.
Our engineers use advanced camera systems and reporting tools to locate defects, blockages, cracks, root ingress, displaced joints or structural damage. You’ll receive a full video record and easy-to-understand PDF report with annotated stills, site maps, and recommendations.
In short, a CCTV survey gives clarity and direction rather than trial and error.
Many homeowners use CCTV surveys in conjunction with maintenance or relining services.
We talk through your symptoms or concerns and confirm access points for the survey.
A flexible, waterproof camera is pushed through the drains from an access point, travelling through bends, T-joints and branches.
The live video feed is monitored, and footage is recorded. We log any defects, blockages, cracks, misalignments or root intrusion.
We backtrack to give precise distance measurements from access points, so repair teams know exactly where to dig if needed.
From the footage, we extract still images, annotate problem zones, map them onto a drainage plan, and produce a report for your use.
We walk you through the report, explain issues, and propose options: cleaning, relining, excavation or routine maintenance.
A CCTV survey is your first step when symptoms point to hidden drain issues.
Our locally based engineers respond quickly, ensuring that businesses get answers fast. Surveys can usually be completed within the same day, depending on the complexity of the site.
Using our CCTV survey gives you confidence and clarity rather than guesswork.
In Somerset, we located a displaced joint under patio slabs and recommended targeted excavation rather than whole-line replacement.
In Bath, a client used our survey in a house purchase to uncover a cracked drain under garden slabs—savings in alteration costs.
In Bristol, we identified root intrusion causing repeated blockages in a terrace home, enabling precise relining rather than full excavation.
No. The process is clean and non-invasive. We only use existing access points like manholes or drain covers.
Typically 1–2 hours for a residential property, depending on complexity and length of pipe runs.
Yes. You receive access to the video file and a comprehensive report with annotated images and site mapping.
Blockages, cracks, misaligned joints, root ingress, pipe deformation, leaks or collapsed sections.
It often is, or it can be added as part of a maintenance or repair plan.
