The Problem That Drives You Mad


You know something's wrong with your drains, but you can't figure out what.


The kitchen sink keeps backing up even after you've had it cleared three times this month.


The bathroom smells funny but you can't work out where it's coming from.


Your outside drain gurgles ominously every time you run the washing machine, and you're starting to dread doing the laundry.

say goodbye to blocked drains by CDS Ltd

You've tried everything - drain cleaners, plungers, even called out a drainage company who cleared a blockage but couldn't tell you why it keeps happening.


It's like trying to fix a car engine while wearing a blindfold - you're working blind, throwing money at temporary fixes while the real problem stays hidden underground.


That's exactly why we invested in professional CCTV drainage inspection equipment. Instead of guessing what's causing your drainage headaches, our cameras go down into your pipes and show us exactly what's happening.


Tree roots growing through cracks, collapsed sections, mysterious objects that shouldn't be there, pipe joints that have shifted over time - we can see it all clearly and show you the footage.


Once we know what we're dealing with, we can fix the actual problem instead of just treating the symptoms. No more guesswork, no more temporary patches, just proper solutions based on what we can actually see down there.


This opening focuses on the frustration of recurring drainage problems and positions CCTV inspection as the logical solution that removes the guesswork.


It maintains that conversational, human tone while being professional about the service benefits.


CCTV Drainage Inspection by CDS Ltd


Here at Commercial Drainage Services Essex Led we carry out a full, thorough CCTV Inspection to determine the extent and location of any damage, or blockage and we shall then provide you with  recommendations for any remedial works and you shall provide you with a Full Report. 


What's a CCTV Drain Survey?


We use specialist equipment, we have a small camera and we inserted into a drain and push it right through the drain, pipe or sewer to find the exact root of a blockage or damage within your drain.


Whilst the camera manoeuvres through the pipe, sewer or drain, it's recording and displayed on our monitor.


This then provides a thoroughly detailed report of any problems and this then allows us to know of the problematic area so it can then be tended to easily.


Once knowing the problem and exact area, we can then act promptly and carry out any work if needed.


The CCTV Report will inform you what you need to know and will give you all necessary information so you can then make any decisions on repair work etc. 


We always use the latest Technology to allow us to check out the affected areas so we can then identify your drainage problems or blockages.

Why Have a CCTV Drain Survey?

A CCTV drainage inspection and drain tracing report can save you time, money and a lot of unnecessary excavation.


Our engineers are able to locate any buried inspection cover or manholes, find any damaged pipework or the location, if any,  of root penetration - this then allows you to dig where needed rather than randomly.


Damage to the structure of the pipe work.

Decay on the joints where water is either entering/leaving.


Pipework which has become dislodged which then causes blockages.


Site handover reports for civil engineers.


Drain tracing by camera and by Sonde's.


Suitable for pipes as narrow as 100mm, our CCTV drainage survey team uses the latest video cameras to capture clear and colour images to so it's easier find and identify the problem, wherever within your drain, manhole or gully.


You will have the results on DVD or CD-ROM with a detailed report stating the condition of the drains and identifying the location of gullies and manholes.

CCTV Surveys Produce Actionable Results

Over time and constant use drains can deteriorate and even fracture and ultimately could collapse.


The deterioration process though could take several years and is a result of many factors for example ground movement, tree root penetration or poor construction.


The first signs of any problem is usually frequent and excessive blockages.

CCTV Drainage Inspections

It's hard to know what is going on underground, it's hard to pinpoint any drainage problem whether it is drains, gullies, pits or pumps.


Digging a hole to investigate, that's presuming you precisely know where to dig a hole and you are then prepared to discover leaking sewerage, or you could miss the precise spot altogether. Y


Yet, frequently that is impracticable in lots of cases, nothing less than a visual assessment of the drain will provide the answer.


This is when a CCTV survey provides you with the information to decide on the right solution.

CCTV Survey Reports

We insert our CCTV cameras into the actual drain via the access point, which is usually a manhole or inspection chamber. It is then pushed or powered through the pipe.


As the camera goes along the length of the pipe the image is then displayed on our monitor which is above ground where  we can then follow the progress and look out for any defects and their exact location.


A survey report is then produced which details the type and location of any defects.


This report, together with a diagram and DVD or CD Rom, given to you along with our recommendations for the remedial work which might need doing, for example excavation and replacement or lining works.


CDS Ltd CCTV surveys are for sure a cost effective way of finding any problems at their source and help to determine the most practical remedial options.
