What you receive from your CCTV inspection
SouthFlow provides domestic and commercial CCTV drain inspections to identify blockages, root ingress, damaged pipes and other drainage problems.
- CCTV video footage of the inspection.
- Photographs or screenshots of any problems identified.
- A written summary of findings where required.
- Recommendations for drain cleaning, repairs or relining.
Footage and findings: We aim to provide footage and findings within 24–48 hours.
Buying a property or planning building work?
We offer CCTV inspections for customers buying properties, but do not currently provide formal coded homebuyer or build-over survey reports. If a solicitor, lender or other adviser requires a formal coded report, you will need a provider offering that report type.
Set a clear inspection question
A recurring blockage, suspected damage and a property purchase each raise different questions. Explain what you need to establish and share any previous findings. SouthFlow can discuss an inspection scope based on the accessible drainage and the decision you need to make.
Access and visibility determine the inspection
A camera views the pipe interior through a suitable entry point. Deposits, obstructions or inaccessible sections can limit the view. Explain which drainage points are available, and ask how preparation or clearance would be agreed if required.
Specify useful evidence before booking
You receive CCTV video footage, photographs or screenshots of any problems identified, and recommendations for drain cleaning, repairs or relining. A written summary of findings is available where required. We aim to provide footage and findings within 24–48 hours.
Your Southampton service questions
What can a CCTV drain survey identify?
A camera inspection can reveal visible blockages, deposits, root ingress and structural defects within accessible pipework. It helps assess what is happening inside the drain without excavating the whole route.
When is a CCTV survey useful?
It can help investigate recurring blockages, suspected damage or drainage concerns before property work. Explain what you need to find out so the inspection covers the relevant sections.
Will I receive footage and a written report?
You receive CCTV video footage, photographs or screenshots of any problems identified, and recommendations for drain cleaning, repairs or relining. A written summary of findings is available where required. We aim to provide footage and findings within 24–48 hours. We offer CCTV inspections for customers buying properties, but do not currently provide formal coded homebuyer or build-over survey reports.
Will the drains need cleaning first?
Sometimes. Deposits or a blockage can prevent the camera from progressing or obscure the pipe walls. Any preparation or clearance needed should be discussed, including whether it is included in the quote.
Can the camera inspect every part of the system?
Not always. Access points, obstructions and pipe condition can limit the inspection. Ask which sections can be surveyed and how any areas that could not be inspected will be explained.
How long does a survey take?
The visit length depends on the drainage layout, access and any preparation needed. We aim to provide footage and findings within 24–48 hours. Tell us about any purchase or project deadline when arranging the inspection.
How much does the work cost?
We quote for the work your property needs. The price depends on the problem, access, preparation and attendance arrangements. When requesting a quote, ask what is included and whether VAT or additional investigation charges apply.
