A persistent blockage is one of the most frustrating problems a homeowner can face. Often, the first sign isn't a complete failure, but a series of recurring symptoms. If these issues seem familiar, it's a clear signal that a deeper problem is developing within your pipework.
Sinks, baths, or showers that empty very slowly.
Unpleasant odours coming from plugholes or drains.
Gurgling noises from the pipework after water has drained.
Toilets that are difficult to flush or where the water level backs up.
Frequent blockages that return, even after using shop-bought chemical cleaners.
Left unchecked, these issues can lead to expensive repairs or even damage to your property’s foundations. A professional drain inspection and descaling is the quickest and most reliable way to uncover and fix what’s really happening inside your drains before it becomes a bigger problem.
Traditional drain inspections meant digging, disruption, and high costs. With modern CCTV technology, that’s no longer necessary. Using a small high-resolution camera, we inspect your drains from the inside to identify cracks, blockages, corrosion, or collapsed sections without excavation. At Clear Stream Drainage Solutions, we use professional-grade equipment to record clear footage and still images, producing a detailed digital report with any repair recommendations. The process is fast, clean, and completely non-invasive - giving you accurate answers, efficient repairs, and lasting peace of mind.
A CCTV drain survey isn’t just about finding faults - it’s about saving you time, money, and hassle. By identifying issues early, you can prevent minor blockages or cracks from turning into major repair jobs later on.
Early diagnosis means you avoid costly excavation and repair bills. With a clear report in hand, you only fix what’s necessary.
Same-day surveys and rapid digital reporting mean you can act quickly and keep your home or project on schedule.
HD footage pinpoints the exact location and nature of the problem, eliminating the need for guesswork.
Whether you’re maintaining a family home or buying a new property, you’ll know your drains are in good condition.
All reports from Clear Stream Drainage Solutions are insurance-approved and meet recognised national standards, providing clear, compliant documentation. With transparent pricing and expert advice, you can make confident decisions and restore your drainage system quickly and efficiently.
EXCELLENT Based on 21 reviews Posted on lisa sheppardTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Josh was very professional and skilled. He had all of the required equipment and kept us informed at every stage. I can't recommend him highly enough.Posted on Jerrick CarneTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Thanks for the great service!Posted on Katie SingletonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Josh was very thorough and efficient with his work, first with clearing the drain blockages, then using the camera to show me the concerns with the pipework, both within the property boundaries and externally too. He advised me to contact SWW and they have also been to inspect and as a result of Josh’s advice will be rectifying the concerns externally to my property. Josh completed the work to the drain pipes today, and again showed me the completed work using the camera. Clean, tidy and very reliable service. A much better customer experience than the previous month with a different company who were over priced and unable to fix the problem. Thank you Josh.Posted on Trish GlossopTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My.sewer pipe was constantly blocking up and making life miserable! I called Josh, and he and his colleague Luke came round on Monday. They dug it all up, replaced it with a new one, removed all the mess, and even replaced the gravel. (Cleaned up all the muddy footprints in the kitchen too!) When I arrived home on Tuesday the job was done, and order restored I am very pleased with the job they did and would happily recommend them to anyone!Posted on Rosie MedlandTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very quick and professional service, was able to come out at short notice and fix a tough blockage for us in no time that we just were't able to clear with the tools we had on hand. Also really friendly and helpful along the way - would definitely use again if needed and certainly recommend! 5*!Posted on Rosie FullerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Josh was a fantastic help to us, we gave little and vague info being a property we manage remotely and he just turned up, communicated brilliantly and sorted our issue. Hes gone on our list of regular contacts in the area for any further drain problems we might have in other properties!

A CCTV drain survey is a detailed inspection of your drainage system using a small, high-definition camera. The camera records video footage from inside your pipes, helping our engineers identify cracks, blockages, displaced joints, or collapsed sections without any digging or disruption.
A survey is recommended if you’re buying a property, experiencing recurring blockages, noticing foul smells, or suspecting leaks under your home or garden. It’s also essential for insurance claims, renovation projects, or routine maintenance of rental properties.
We don’t charge call-out fees and always provide a quote before starting work. Most jobs are competitively priced, depending on the blockage and location. There are never hidden charges.
Yes. We are fully insured and our engineers are trained, qualified, and experienced in all aspects of domestic and commercial drainage.
Most residential surveys take between 30 and 60 minutes to complete. Larger or more complex drainage systems may take longer, but we’ll always let you know in advance.
Shared drains often serve multiple properties before connecting to the main sewer. You may share a drain if you notice inspection covers or gullies located along boundary lines. A CCTV drain survey can confirm shared connections, and local water authority records can provide further details.
