Understanding your Ilkeston property's drainage is essential, particularly as the town's older infrastructure ages. Our CCTV surveys reveal the condition of pipes beneath your property, identifying deterioration that surface inspection cannot detect. This is especially valuable for Ilkeston's Victorian and post-war housing stock.
Contact us to arrange a convenient time. We arrive at your Ilkeston property at the agreed time 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 systematically survey your accessible drainage, recording footage and noting findings. The resulting report provides a clear picture of your system's condition, with recommendations prioritised by urgency.
Local tip: Ilkeston's Victorian and mining-era terraces often have clay drainage well past its designed life — a CCTV survey reveals how much service life remains.
