A drainage survey is used to investigate your drainage pipes and diagnose or identify any potential issues. At Your Environment, we use the latest technology and provide a detailed condition report as standard with all our CCTV surveys.

If you are developing a site a drainage survey will help you identify the location of your drains, which may have big implications on how and where you build.
Identifying any problems, or potential problems with your drainage systems is crucial to keeping your build on track. It is better to complete work to drain systems before you start work as failing to do so may see you having to backtrack or make costly changes to your site.
