What we surveyed

A CCTV inspection at a residential property in Walsall (WS5), covering 1 separate run, 100 mm bore, foul.

The system is vitrified clay.

Vitrified clay is what most pre-1970s drainage in the Midlands is built from. It is durable but brittle, and its short pipe lengths mean many joints – which is where almost everything goes wrong.

What the camera found

Nothing structurally wrong. The survey recorded 3 observations across the system – junctions, node types, water levels and changes of material – and no defects.

That is a useful result rather than a dull one. For anyone buying the property, a clean survey removes drainage from the list of things to negotiate over or worry about, and the recording is there to prove it.

CCTV view along a sound clay drain, the bore clear and the walls unobstructed — A sound run. A survey that finds nothing wrong is a real result, and worth having in writing.
