CCTV Drain Survey in Glasgow

A CCTV drain survey pushes a waterproof HD camera through your drain or sewer run and records exactly what is happening underground: cracks, collapses, root ingress, displaced joints or a hidden blockage that keeps coming back. It is the only way to actually see the problem rather than guess at it from the symptoms above ground.

ClearFlow carries an HD CCTV camera with on-screen distance metering on every van. David and Chris run the survey, talk you through what the camera finds in plain English on the spot, and hand over the footage and a written report, not a sales pitch dressed up as a diagnosis.

Surveys are used before buying a property, after a drain has blocked repeatedly, before planning an extension near a drain run, or simply to check the condition of pipework you have never had inspected. Whatever the reason, you get the same clear answer: what is down there, exactly where it is, and what it will take to fix it if anything needs fixing at all.

Signs you need cctv drain survey

  • A drain that keeps re-blocking within days or weeks of being cleared

  • Buying a property and want to know the drains are sound before you commit

  • Damp patches, dips in the ground, or smells with no obvious above-ground cause

  • Planning an extension or building work near an existing drain run

  • Need documented evidence for an insurance claim or a dispute with a neighbour

  • Slow drainage across multiple fixtures with no single obvious blockage

Our process

  1. 1

    Call or message us

    Speak to David or Chris directly. Tell us why you need the survey and we confirm the price before we travel.

  2. 2

    Price confirmed in writing

    You get the price by text or email before the engineer sets off. No fixed call-out fee.

  3. 3

    Camera run through the full drain

    The HD camera is fed through the drain from the best access point, recording continuously with on-screen distance metering so we know exactly where anything found is located.

  4. 4

    Explained on the spot

    We talk you through what the camera found there and then, in plain English, not technical jargon you need us to translate later.

  5. 5

    Written report and footage handed over

    You keep the footage and a written report. If a repair is needed we give you a separate, itemised quote, no pressure to decide on the spot.

Common causes

What a CCTV Survey Finds

A CCTV survey turns up one of a small number of things every time. Knowing which one you are dealing with is the difference between a five-minute jet and a full excavation, and the camera is the only way to tell them apart before any digging starts.

Cracked or displaced joints

Common in Victorian and Edwardian Glasgow tenements. Usually fixable with no-dig lining rather than digging up the run.

Root ingress

Roots finding their way in through a cracked joint. The camera shows exactly where, so the fix targets the right spot.

Partial or full collapse

The clearest reason a drain keeps re-blocking. Confirmed on camera before any repair quote is given.

Wrong fall or a low point in the run

A section of pipe laid without enough slope collects standing water and debris. Visible clearly on the footage.

Genuinely sound pipework

Plenty of surveys come back clean. Good news, and it is documented in writing rather than taken on trust.

Shared or misconnected drainage

Especially relevant in tenements and commercial units, where the camera confirms which section is whose responsibility.

Good news: every one of these has a clean, proven fix, and we'll show you exactly what we found.

Glasgow-based. David & Chris run every survey themselves.

Same-day availability

Surveys booked quickly, emergency callouts out to you as fast as we can.

£5M+ public liability

Fixed pricing, no surprises

Price agreed in writing before we start work.

HD camera, distance metering

Precise location of any issue found, not a rough guess.

Written report, footage included

You keep the evidence, not just our word for it.

The equipment we bring to every survey

HD CCTV cameras with on-screen distance metering, waterproof and rated for full submersion, giving a clear picture of pipe condition from the access point to wherever the run leads.

Where a survey identifies a blockage or partial obstruction rather than a structural issue, we carry high-pressure jetting and electro-mechanical rodding on the same van, so a clear-and-confirm visit is often possible in one call-out.

Transparent pricing

There is no fixed call-out fee. You only pay if you go ahead with the survey, and the price is agreed in writing before we start.

If the survey finds a repair is needed, we show you the footage, explain the options in plain English, and give a separate written quote. Nothing happens without your agreement.

Fixed price agreed before any work starts.

Reviews

What Our Clients Say

Real reviews from Glasgow households and businesses we've helped.

"I had major issues with my drainage caused by ground movement. The ground had to be dug up and a new drainage system put in. This was done efficiently and to a very high standard, the workmen were legends, absolutely brilliant. My slabs were all put back exactly as they were before. I highly recommend this company."
