CCTV Drain Survey in Kirkby
HD push-rod and crawler cameras with sonde tracing — full WRc-coded report supplied for insurance, pre-purchase or build-over.
A proper CCTV drain survey in Kirkby is the difference between guessing and knowing. 1960s pitch fibre is everywhere — deformation and partial collapse are routine survey findings; long looped runs need real route knowledge. Our HD push-rod and crawler cameras produce a fully WRc-coded drain survey report that conveyancers, insurers and water authorities accept — particularly important in Kirkby given the predominantly 1960s new-town housing with looped estate layouts and an industrial fringe.

Sonde tracing: Pitch-fibre lining is bread-and-butter work for us across L32 and L33 — useful when we need to physically locate an unmapped run for an extension or build-over.
Insurance work: reports include the WRc defect log, plan diagram and full video file as standard, not as a paid add-on.
Pre-purchase context: in Kirkby the issues that most often show on CCTV are pitch fibre deformation, root ingress and silt build-up — we flag and code each one to MSCC5 so the report has weight with conveyancers.
