Why CCTV Drain Surveys Matter for Your Property – Octane Draincare, West Yorkshire

Whether you’re dealing with persistent blockages, planning a development, or need assurance of your drainage system’s condition, a CCTV drain survey provides the clarity you need without disruptive excavation work. Octane Draincare uses advanced high-definition camera technology to inspect underground drains and sewers, identifying issues such as blockages, cracks, root intrusion, structural faults, and more. These surveys enable precise diagnosis and tailored recommendations, helping clients make informed decisions and avoid costly repairs later.

Traditional methods of investigation were often time-consuming, invasive, and costly. By contrast, CCTV technology offers a fast, non‑invasive approach to pinpoint exactly where and what the problem is – saving time, reducing disruption, and preventing unnecessary digging.

Advanced Drain Mapping and Reporting for Complete Asset Insights

Octane Draincare doesn’t just inspect drains. Our CCTV drain mapping and reporting service goes a step further by capturing the layout and condition of your entire drainage network. Using the latest CCTV and GPS technology, engineers accurately record every pipeline, chamber, gully, and connection to produce a detailed map of your system. This information is vital for compliance, maintenance planning, and future construction or renovation projects.

Comprehensive reporting helps you manage your drainage assets efficiently. Clear documentation of issues and system layout supports regulatory compliance, risk management, and ongoing infrastructure planning. It’s especially useful for commercial, industrial, and large residential sites where accurate mapping is essential.
