CCTV Surveys

Businesses large and small in both the private and public sector can now benefit from CCTV survey technology. This technology allows the visual condition of a drainage system to be established, as well as detecting blockages and identifying system serviceability.

Chelmer also offer these drain services in conjunction with our site investigation works, as part of the ‘one-stop’ shop we feel benefits our clients.

Only the best technology is utilised by Chelmer when surveying to discover structural drainage concerns, investigating causes of blockages and tracing drainage runs up to 1000mm diameter. When tracing maximum diameter pipes the use of specialised Crawler Camera Units are employed.

The results of completed surveys are collated and translated into a concise, easy to read yet detailed report, using the very latest drain camera technology with Wincan reporting embedded on the unit we can produce your report at source and on site and fully coded up ready for the office to produce a printed or electronic report including drainage layout plans with all relevant invert or cover levels as required as well as full recommendations. We also supply a quotation for any recommendations made in the report. Upon request, we can supply a copy of the CCTV survey footage, supplied via a USB memory stick for you to view at your leisure.

Chelmer have a fleet of vans fitted with specialised jetting equipment, ready to pre-clean all pipes in preparation for any surveys, thus ensuring a clear picture and more importantly an accurate assessment of the visual condition of the pipework.

For home buyers, CCTV surveys are a must, as more and more mortgage lenders recognise the benefits of utilising this technology. Lenders are advising homebuyers to take advantage of this option when having a structural survey carried out on the property they are buying. For a small additional cost your drains can also be surveyed, buying peace of mind and avoiding a costly repair bill later.
