First we need to know the size of the drains, as this will determine which of our cameras is right for the job. For example, if your pipes are smaller than 6 inches in diameter, we have a push rod camera at the ready to reveal the same level of insight as the Mega-Float, 4-wheel Crawler and more. We start by carefully placing a camera inside the drain or sewer to reveal any issues that could affect the performance of your drains. Some issues that our CCTV surveys can detect include blockages, root damage and pipe collapse. We can then produce a report on the site’s drainage systems, verifying the integrity, cleanliness and operational effectiveness of the system.
The cost will vary depending on a number of factors. But current data shows that the average cost for a drain survey is £250. Factors that can influence the price include: the size and type of property, the length of the drain and how easy it is to access for our drain specialists.
Our Mega-Cam provides the highest quality CCTV drain inspection and can detect settled deposits, joints displacement, deformed sewers, fractures, broken pipes and cracks. It can also pin-point the precise location of the problem. The Mega-Cam can operate up to 500m from the vehicle. We can access surface water drains as well as underground culverts using cure in place pipe (CIPP). This then provides us with a map of existing sewers and connections in any given area. Hydro Cleansing use the latest CCTV technology when carrying out any drain survey or CCTV sewer inspection. Our cameras record HD quality videos of any issues detected within drains, using shadow-less LED lighting with 10x optical zoom and dual lasers to measure defects. Our cameras are suitable for drains measuring less than 150mm (6”) all the way up to 1000mm (40”) in diameter.
The crawler unit is a remote-controlled CCTV robot camera system. It has 4-wheel drive and colour CCTV for optimised drain surveying. It’s suitable for pipes between 450mm and 2 metres+ in diameter. This unit comes complete with built-in DVD so that every drain survey is recorded. We then ensure a copy is given to the client as a formal report regarding the condition and structure of their drainage network.
Hydro Cleansing's research team designed a remote camera specifically for water-bound environments. Mega-Float provides high definition recordings for surveying faults, blockages and drainage infrastructure. This camera can inspect flooded sewers, culverts and drains, whilst still providing comprehensive reports within 48 hours. Mega-Float also has the ability investigate the dangers of entering water bound environments.
Hydro Cleansing use a push rod camera system when carrying out a drain survey on pipes smaller than 150mm (6 inches). With this slightly more manual tool, we can carry out a drain inspection to assess narrow, smaller pipes whilst providing the same level of report detail that we achieve with our more technically advanced cameras.

Pre purchase surveys can be required by mortgage lenders prior to agreeing to a mortgage. This is to assure the mortgage lender that the property for which they are giving a loan has no hidden faults that could seriously cause it to devalue. It also assures the buyer of the property that the drains are in good working order. Hydro Cleansing engineers are fully trained and qualified specialists in operating our remotely controlled cameras for homebuyer drain surveys. Our engineers assess the state and integrity of the drain or sewer without causing any disruptions to the client or the environment. Our engineers provide a report on any findings along with recommendations that would resolve any issues found. Getting a pre purchase survey is a great way to avoid unexpected repair costs further down the line. A CCTV drainage survey for a house or flat will also give you an idea of how much you might need to invest in a property after you buy it. Similarly, it can be worth investing in a home-seller drainage survey if you’re looking to speed up the process of selling your house.
Conditional and connectivity surveys assess the internal condition of drains and sewer systems by revealing any pipe collapses, rot damage or blockages. Inspecting the structural condition means that any problems can be dealt with immediately and any future problems can be avoided.
CCTV drain surveys are carried out by inserting a camera into the drain/sewer system to detect and identify any issues that could affect the performance of your drains, such as blockages, root damage or pipe collapse. Typically deployed to find and record faults within drainage systems, HCL’s CCTV drain survey can help prevent any failures in the drainage system. CCTV drain survey is used to a great extent, within the construction industry, at the point of site handover. The engineer will carry out a comprehensive evaluation, producing a report on the site’s drainage systems, verifying the integrity, cleanliness and operational effectiveness of the system. The report is vital to the assured and complete handover of a building, and could prevent on-going disputes over liabilities, should systems fail.
