CCTV Drainage Inspection

Our experienced team uses drain camera technology to take the guess work out of fixing your blocked drains.

With our CCTV technology, we assess the integrity of your pipes while pinpointing the exact location of any issues. We can identify cracked pipes, debris, or tree root intrusion, all without needing to dig up your pipes. We can even detect the exact location of water leaks, without having to dig up you pipes.

After we’ve fixed your blocked or broken pipes by clearing them out or relining them, we’ll send the drain camera down again to confirm everything is up to scratch.

We’ll share the before and after footage with you, so can see exactly how we’ve fixed the problem.

Semtex's comprehensive pipe inspections give you full visibility of the problem. We’ll supply a detailed report of our findings and provide you with expert recommendations so you can decide on the best and most cost-effective solution.

A CCTV drain inspection allows us to:

  • Diagnose issues right there – cracks, joins or missing sections
  • Record in all conditions
  • Provide informed, honest and upfront pricing
  • Make preventative repairs before major issues arise
  • Complete the job in the most cost-effective way
  • Get the results to you in a visual with HD footage
