Hetton-le-Hole's mining village heritage means drainage can be unpredictable, with original clay systems, later modifications, and ground subsidence all playing a part. Our CCTV surveys provide the detailed condition reports needed to understand your property's drainage and plan effective maintenance.
Contact us to arrange a convenient time. We arrive at your Hetton-le-Hole property typically within 45-60 minutes with self-contained survey equipment — no preparation is needed on your part.
We access the drainage system through manholes or inspection chambers and feed a high-definition waterproof camera through the entire pipe network.
The camera transmits real-time footage to a monitor, allowing us to identify cracks, root ingress, displaced joints, blockages, and other defects as we progress.
You receive a written report with annotated screenshots, a pipe condition summary, and prioritised recommendations for any repairs or maintenance needed.
We survey Hetton-le-Hole properties with particular attention to ground conditions and mining legacy. Our reports document pipe condition, alignment, and any subsidence-related issues that may need monitoring.
