A CCTV drain survey is especially worth it in Wroughton, where pipework can switch from Victorian clay to modern plastic within a single property. Sitting on the chalk-clay boundary, drains here face both groundwater infiltration and seasonal ground movement. A camera shows exactly what's happening underground before anyone starts digging.
Wroughton's position on the chalk-clay geological boundary creates varied drainage conditions across the village. Properties on the chalk and greensand drain freely but face groundwater infiltration risks in wet winters, while those on clay experience seasonal pipe stress. The range of drainage materials from different development periods adds further complexity.
Contact us to arrange a convenient time. We arrive at your Wroughton 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 feed a self-levelling camera through an access chamber and record the full run, noting cracks, displaced joints, root ingress and infiltration points. You get a clear report with footage and, where needed, exact depths and locations marked. That means any repair is targeted to the fault rather than guessed at.
Local tip: Buying an older property near Wroughton's High Street or a rural boundary plot? Book a survey before exchange. Mixed-era drainage means a clean-looking garden can hide a collapsed Victorian clay section that's expensive to find out about after completion.
