Surveys

CCTV and pre & post construction surveys

Over time drains and sewers begin to deteriorate and can suffer from all manner of problems such as ground movement, mis-aligned drains, cracking and issues relating to poor construction methods, tree root invasion, silt build-up and scale and grime deposits. That's where Eco Drains comes in. Our effective surveys will identify any issues so they can be dealt with swiftly.
In most cases the only way to effectively identify the cause of problems with drains and sewers is to carry out a visual inspection. Our state-of-the-art CCTV inspection systems allow us to gain rapid access to pipes from 20mm to 600mm in diameter without the time, expense and mess involved with pipe trenching and excavation.

CCTV drain inspections can be used to identify the cause of existing issues or as a preventative measure, to allow us to spot potential faults before they become a problem.

Pre & post construction drainage surveys

It is often necessary to carry out a pre-construction condition survey on drains, sewers and pipes prior to commencing a construction project, in order to identify potential faults and items of distress. The purpose of this survey is give an overall assessment of the state of the drains, sewers or pipes in and around the site that may be affected by the upcoming construction activities, particularly when such activities may cause various levels of vibration.

The findings for such a survey are compiled into a report that includes a statement of purpose for the report, any architectural or structural drawings that have been reviewed, a list of items that have been observed and details of any which have shown signs of damage or distress. If required we also provide details of remedial work required to address any faults and a no-obligation quote for the completion of proposed repairs. Reports are supplemented with photo and video evidence where relevant.

A post-construction survey can be carried out following the completion of construction work to establish if any new faults or items of distress have arisen as a consequence of the construction activities.

Full report generated

Once the CCTV pipe, drain or sewer examination is complete we generate a piping diagram and report, including a copy of the video footage captured during the inspection which can be supplied in DVD format. If remedial action is required we provide a detailed recommendation and no-obligation quote for the completion of the work.
