What you receive from your CCTV inspection
SouthFlow provides domestic and commercial CCTV drain inspections to identify blockages, root ingress, damaged pipes and other drainage problems.
- CCTV video footage of the inspection.
- Photographs or screenshots of any problems identified.
- A written summary of findings where required.
- Recommendations for drain cleaning, repairs or relining.
Footage and findings: We aim to provide footage and findings within 24–48 hours.
Buying a property or planning building work?
We offer CCTV inspections for customers buying properties, but do not currently provide formal coded homebuyer or build-over survey reports. If a solicitor, lender or other adviser requires a formal coded report, you will need a provider offering that report type.
A drain camera survey with a clear purpose
If your drain keeps blocking, clearing it again may not explain why the problem returns. A CCTV inspection can help establish what is visible inside accessible pipework and inform the next step.
SouthFlow is based in Petersfield and provides surveys for local homes and business premises. Tell us whether you need fault finding, a property-purchase inspection or information to assess a proposed repair. These enquiries can require different survey scopes.
What happens during a CCTV drain inspection?
A drainage camera is introduced through a suitable access point so the accessible pipe can be viewed from inside. The inspection helps establish what can be seen along the route, rather than inferring the cause only from slow drainage or backing-up.
Visible findings may include deposits, roots entering the pipe, cracks or displaced joints. What can be identified depends on the camera reaching the section and having a clear view. A restriction or inaccessible section may need further attention before the inspection can continue.
SouthFlow’s Petersfield enquiry starts with the reason you need the information. A survey for a recurring blockage, a house purchase and a known repair can focus on different questions.
Which type of Petersfield survey do you need?
Recurring blockages
Describe how often the blockage returns, which outlets are affected and what previous clearance achieved. This helps define the section needing investigation.
Property purchase
If you are buying in Petersfield, use our homebuyer survey page to plan seller access, reporting requirements and the purchase timetable.
Repair investigation
Provide any existing footage or findings. Camera access and visibility affect what can be assessed before relining or excavation is considered.
Before you enquire
- The property address and the reason for the survey.
- Known chamber positions and whether they are accessible.
- Previous drainage work, findings or recurring symptoms.
- Any requirement for footage, a written report, a plan or third-party use.
Agree the inspection and reporting requirements
You receive CCTV video footage of the inspection and photographs or screenshots of any problems identified. A written summary of findings is available where required, together with recommendations for drain cleaning, repairs or relining. We aim to provide footage and findings within 24–48 hours.
A camera cannot show pipework it cannot reach or see clearly. Obstructions and the drainage layout may limit the inspection. Discuss the scope, limitations and any preparation required rather than assuming every part of a property can be inspected.
Your Petersfield service questions
What can a CCTV drain survey identify?
A camera inspection can reveal visible blockages, deposits, root ingress and structural defects within accessible pipework. It helps assess what is happening inside the drain without excavating the whole route.
When is a CCTV survey useful?
It can help investigate recurring blockages, suspected damage or drainage concerns before property work. Explain what you need to find out so the inspection covers the relevant sections.
Will I receive footage and a written report?
You receive CCTV video footage, photographs or screenshots of any problems identified, and recommendations for drain cleaning, repairs or relining. A written summary of findings is available where required. We aim to provide footage and findings within 24–48 hours. We offer CCTV inspections for customers buying properties, but do not currently provide formal coded homebuyer or build-over survey reports.
Will the drains need cleaning first?
Sometimes. Deposits or a blockage can prevent the camera from progressing or obscure the pipe walls. Any preparation or clearance needed should be discussed, including whether it is included in the quote.
Can the camera inspect every part of the system?
Not always. Access points, obstructions and pipe condition can limit the inspection. Ask which sections can be surveyed and how any areas that could not be inspected will be explained.
How long does a survey take?
The visit length depends on the drainage layout, access and any preparation needed. We aim to provide footage and findings within 24–48 hours. Tell us about any purchase or project deadline when arranging the inspection.
How much does the work cost?
We quote for the work your property needs. The price depends on the problem, access, preparation and attendance arrangements. When requesting a quote, ask what is included and whether VAT or additional investigation charges apply.
Compare survey quotes on the same basis
When comparing quotes for a Petersfield property, check the area of drainage covered, any preparation or clearance, the agreed outputs and whether VAT or other charges apply. A lower headline price may cover a different scope.
If your survey is for a purchase, see our Petersfield homebuyer CCTV inspection page. If a defect is already known, share the findings when discussing drain repairs.
