Invicta’s CCTV Drainage Survey Process
When you contact Invicta, our team will discuss your rat issue and why you think you might need a CCTV drain survey. Our team may also recommend a CCTV survey of your drains if they feel it is necessary.
When we attend the property, we will set up the CCTV camera and insert it into your drainage system. The camera will show where the issues are and give you an insight into what is required to make a permanent fix to prevent further activity.
Once the CCTV camera drain inspection has been carried out, we will provide a full report to help you understand what damage has occurred to your drainage system.
After your CCTV survey, our team can advise you on the repairs needed. For simple drain repairs, we can carry out the work ourselves, or we can provide a recommendation for a local drain engineer who can fix the problem. Invicta can also offer drainage equipment that will prevent rat access whilst the issue is getting a permanent fix. Your technician will advise the best approach to the issues on your property.

CCTV Drain Surveys For Rat Infestations
Any person who has had rat activity in their loft will tell you how awful the scratching sounds and the constant scurrying across your ceilings sound during the night. Most rat infestations in your property come from drainage issues, such as displaced joints, tree ingress or damaged pipes, which allow rats access to your cavity walls through breaks and faults. Because you can’t see drains from the surface, you need a CCTV drain survey to assess whether the rats are entering through your drains.
Rats infest our primary sewer systems, and the connecting pipes provide them with convenient pathways to follow and explore. Rats constantly search for defects in the drainage system to find a way to explore their environment for food sources. Once they find one, they can typically settle in and live safely. While it is very simple for rodents to find these narrow pathways, it is more difficult for experts to locate the rats or even to stop them. Part of the process is to inspect your drainage for breakages or damages, which rats might be using as entry points.

A CCTV inspection of your drain system can be used in a variety of situations, including when you notice drain problems or if you’ve just had a renovation carried out and want to check that the drains are undamaged. Also, new home buyers often get CCTV drainage surveys to check for potential drain issues before they make their purchase. Whatever your reason, if you need a CCTV drain survey in the North East, you need Invicta Environmental.
During a CCTV drain survey, our team will insert cutting-edge CCTV cameras into your drainage system and watch the live footage, searching for signs of rat ingress, tree roots, blocked drains, displaced joints or other drain problems. Once they have reviewed the entire system, they will remove the cameras and provide a full drain survey report, so you can understand the issues and what needs to be done to fix them.
Drain camera surveys can be useful to help you identify issues in your drainage system. Additionally, an in-depth inspection can help you find potential issues before they become major problems. For example, if a pipe joint has recently been displaced, then we can see this and fix it before rats start making use of this opportunity to get inside your property. The earlier the problems are identified and fixed, the cheaper and quicker the remedy will be, so a drainage survey is always useful.
