What We Check
A CCTV drain survey in Bournemouth from Southern Drainage & Water uses the latest cameras embedded with Wincan MINA surveying software to inspect your drainage system from end to end. We map every connection, locate hidden manholes, and identify defects such as displaced joints, cracks, root ingress, and scale build-up. A full drainage diagram is provided for your records, along with a written condition report suitable for building control and Waterboard requirements.
Our CCTV drain survey in Bournemouth is often carried out immediately after a blocked drain has been cleared, giving you a clear picture of the underlying cause rather than just a temporary fix. We also carry out pre-purchase surveys for homeowners buying older properties, where clay or pitch fibre pipework is more likely to need attention. Every survey starts with a proper walkthrough of what we’ll be checking, so nothing is left unexplained.
The Difference
Not every drainage company invests in the technology required to produce a genuinely useful survey report. Our CCTV drain survey in Bournemouth is carried out using modern cameras and Wincan MINA software, producing reports that are recognised by building control and Waterboard for compliance purposes, not just a basic video walkthrough.
With 20 years of drainage experience behind every survey, our NADC accredited engineers know what to look for and how to explain it clearly, showing you the footage on-site rather than leaving you to interpret a report alone. We work with local pest control companies who rely on our CCTV surveys to identify rodent entry points, and property buyers who need a clear picture before completing a purchase. Transparent pricing, starting from £175, means you always know the cost before we begin. Our reports are compiled to a standard recognised by building control and Waterboard, so the documentation holds up whether you’re planning repair work or meeting a compliance requirement.

We had a major drain blockage backing up into the house on a weekend, and Southern Drainage and Water Limited responded incredibly fast. The engineer arrived quickly, diagnosed the problem immediately, and had everything cleared and cleaned up in no time. Highly recommend their emergency service!

Professional, friendly and knowledgeable! We are extremely happy with the service and work we received for our recent blocked drain and replacement of the cracked gulley. Whilst there were some difficulties scheduling work due to the weather, I was impressed with the level of comms from Ryan regarding changes in plans.
