CCTV Drain Survey in Mossley
HD push-rod and crawler cameras with sonde tracing — full WRc-coded report supplied for insurance, pre-purchase or build-over.
Most Mossley CCTV surveys we run are pre-purchase. Long-term homeowners, mill-conversion leaseholders and rural properties on off-mains drainage above the town. The report you get back is MSCC5-coded — same standard United Utilities and conveyancers in Greater Manchester ask for — with a defect log, scaled plan and the full video file on a download link, not as a paid add-on.

Postcodes covered: OL5 · typical response 50–60 mins
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 Mossley 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: Historic stone culverts under parts of OL5 — we sonde-trace before any excavation or lining, no exceptions — useful when we need to physically locate an unmapped run for an extension or build-over.
