Learn how Indi Line Group are using CCTV to save you money long term.
When it comes to identifying drain problems, guesswork can be costly and time-consuming. That’s why CCTV drain surveys have become a game-changer for homeowners, landlords, and businesses alike. At Indi Line Group, we use advanced CCTV technology to provide clear, fast, and affordable insight into what's really going on underground—helping customers across Northampton avoid unnecessary excavation, delays, and expensive repairs.
In this blog, we’ll break down how a CCTV drain survey works and explain why it’s one of the smartest investments you can make in your property.
A CCTV drain survey involves feeding a high-resolution waterproof camera through your drainage system. This allows our engineers to get a live, internal view of your pipes without digging or dismantling anything. From minor blockages to major structural damage, every issue is captured on video in real time.
Once the inspection is complete, you receive a detailed digital report, including HD footage, condition grading, and recommendations for repair or maintenance—perfect for homeowners, buyers, or building contractors.
Traditional methods of finding drainage issues often rely on trial and error. This can involve unnecessary digging, guesswork, and wasted labour hours. In contrast, a CCTV survey pinpoints the exact problem area with precision.
Whether it’s a collapsed pipe, root ingress, or years of built-up debris, the survey shows exactly what’s wrong and where—so our engineers can fix it efficiently and accurately. No delays, no mess, no disruption.
Without a proper diagnosis, you could end up spending money on the wrong solution—or repairing the wrong section of pipe. With a CCTV drain survey, we eliminate that risk by targeting the real source of the issue.
This also helps you avoid overpaying for unneeded work. For example, if a blockage turns out to be minor, a quick high-pressure jetting session may be all that’s needed—saving you from costly excavation or relining work.
Planning to purchase a new home? A Home Buyer Drain Survey can save you thousands by spotting hidden issues early. Many major defects—like cracked or collapsed pipes—aren’t covered in standard home surveys.
Having a CCTV drain report in hand also gives you the upper hand in negotiations. If repairs are needed, you can use the findings to request that the seller carries them out—or adjust your offer accordingly.
We’ve built a solid reputation across Northampton for delivering fast, honest, and affordable drain surveys. Our fully qualified engineers use the latest camera tech and provide same-day reporting for most surveys. Whether you're a homeowner, property developer, or commercial client—we tailor our service to your needs.
CCTV drain surveys are one of the most efficient and cost-effective tools in modern drainage care. If you’re dealing with recurring problems or want peace of mind before buying a property, give Indi Line Group a call today.
