WRc-Coded Drain Camera Surveys in Leigh
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 Leigh is the difference between guessing and knowing. Town-centre terraces share long back-of-yard runs that block frequently — wet wipes, fat and the occasional builders' debris. Older private sewers are common. 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 Leigh given the dense terraced streets in central wn7, post-war semis in pennington and bedford, and pockets of new build near the canal regeneration.

Pre-purchase context: in Leigh the issues that most often show on CCTV are fat and wet-wipe blockages, root ingress and the occasional displaced joint — we flag and code each one to MSCC5 so the report has weight with conveyancers.
Sonde tracing: Most Leigh callouts are reached inside 25 minutes from our Shevington base — 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.
