Pre-Purchase CCTV Drain Surveys in Ellesmere Port
HD push-rod and crawler cameras with sonde tracing — full WRc-coded report supplied for insurance, pre-purchase or build-over.
If a vendor in CH65 has flagged "previous drain issues", you want to see the pipe, not take their word for it. The M53 corridor's industrial estates run planned commercial jetting rounds with us regularly. We push HD camera up to 80m of 100mm line, sonde-trace any unmapped runs, and turn the written report around inside 24 hours — fast enough to keep a moving chain moving.
