Understanding your Old Basing property's drainage is essential, particularly for the village's many period properties where drainage layouts can be complex and poorly documented. Our CCTV surveys reveal the condition of pipes beneath your property, identifying issues that surface inspection cannot detect.
Contact us to arrange a convenient time. We arrive at your Old Basing property typically within 30-45 minutes with self-contained survey equipment — no preparation is needed on your part.
We access the drainage system through manholes or inspection chambers and feed a high-definition waterproof camera through the entire pipe network.
The camera transmits real-time footage to a monitor, allowing us to identify cracks, root ingress, displaced joints, blockages, and other defects as we progress.
You receive a written report with annotated screenshots, a pipe condition summary, and prioritised recommendations for any repairs or maintenance needed.
We systematically survey your accessible drainage, recording footage and mapping routes. This is especially important for Old Basing's period properties where drainage may have been modified repeatedly over the centuries.
Local tip: Buying a period property in Old Basing? Always commission a full CCTV drain survey — historic properties may have unexpected drainage features and modifications that require specialist attention.
