CCTV Drain Surveys That Find the
Real Problem.Professional CCTV drain surveys and drainage investigations across Essex, London, Kent and Hertfordshire. We identify defects, blockages and structural problems — then help determine the right solution.
Recurring Drainage Problems Need More Than Guesswork.
When a drainage problem keeps returning, simply clearing the immediate blockage may not reveal what's actually happening underground. A professional CCTV investigation helps establish the cause.
Recurring Blockages
The drain keeps blocking even after it's been cleared. CCTV inspection can help identify the underlying reason the problem keeps returning.
Suspected Pipe Damage
Cracks, displaced joints, deformation, collapse and other structural defects can remain completely hidden below ground.
Roots & Obstructions
Root ingress, concrete, debris and other obstructions can restrict flow or completely block sections of the drainage system.
Unexplained Drainage Issues
Slow flow, unpleasant smells, backing-up or recurring drainage problems where the underlying cause hasn't yet been established.
A CCTV drain survey lets AJS see what's actually happening inside the system before recommending the appropriate next step — whether that's cleaning, obstruction removal, repair, lining or further specialist investigation.
Tell Us What's Happening. We'll Help You Take the Next Step.
Whether you're dealing with a recurring blockage, suspected pipe damage or an unexplained drainage issue, tell AJS what you're experiencing and we'll help establish the right way forward.
Need to discuss the drainage problem first?
That's absolutely fine. AJS supports domestic, commercial and specialist drainage requirements across the South East.

See What's Happening Underground. Clearly.
A professional CCTV drainage survey gives AJS a direct view inside the system, helping identify defects, restrictions and obstructions that cannot be seen from the surface.
Inspect
Specialist CCTV equipment travels through the drainage system to inspect areas that cannot be assessed from ground level.
Identify
AJS can locate defects, displaced joints, roots, obstructions, concrete contamination and other drainage problems.
Report
The survey findings provide a clearer picture of the condition of the drainage system and the problem requiring attention.
Recommend
AJS can then advise on the appropriate next step, from cleaning and obstruction removal to repair, lining or further investigation.
We don't just show you the problem. AJS has the specialist drainage capability to help solve it — including robotic cutting, localised repairs, UV lining, no-dig rehabilitation and conventional remedial works where required.
What Can a CCTV Drain Survey Find?
Drainage problems can develop well below ground with little indication of their true cause from the surface. CCTV inspection allows the condition of the pipework to be examined directly.
Cracks & Structural Defects
Cracking, fractures, deformation and other defects that may affect the integrity or performance of the drainage system.
Displaced Pipe Joints
Misaligned or displaced connections that can restrict flow, allow ingress or contribute to recurring drainage problems.
Root Ingress
Roots entering through joints or defects can restrict the pipe, trap debris and contribute to repeated blockages.
Obstructions & Debris
Foreign objects, accumulated material and other restrictions can be located so the appropriate removal method can be considered.
Concrete Contamination
Concrete and construction material inside drainage pipework can be identified and assessed before specialist removal is undertaken.
Collapsed or Damaged Pipework
Significant deformation, partial collapse or damaged sections can be identified so the extent of remedial work can be assessed.
From engineering bricks to concrete contamination.
AJS investigations have uncovered significant hidden obstructions including an engineering brick within a drainage system and concrete contamination requiring specialist robotic removal.
Problems We've Found. Solutions We've Delivered.
Real drainage systems don't always fail in predictable ways. AJS combines specialist CCTV investigation with the capability to respond when unusual or complex problems are discovered.
Engineering Brick Obstruction
A CCTV drainage investigation revealed an engineering brick obstructing the drainage system — a hidden problem that could not have been properly understood from the surface alone.
Concrete Contamination & Robotic Removal
Concrete contamination within a 225mm cast-iron drainage pipe required more than conventional cleaning. Specialist robotic cutting equipment was used as part of the removal operation.
Finding the problem is only the beginning.
Where remedial work is required, AJS can draw on specialist drainage capabilities including robotic cutting, drain cleaning, localised repairs, UV lining, no-dig rehabilitation and conventional groundworks.
