A CCTV survey puts a camera through your drains and takes the guesswork out of what is happening underground. Instead of paying to clear the same blockage twice a year, you see the displaced joint, the root mass or the collapsed section causing it, exactly where it is and how bad it is.

Ludlow’s market in period property makes camera surveys a fixture of buying here: town houses whose drains predate mapping, and hill farms where the run from house to tank crosses ground nobody has opened in fifty years. Rural sales in SY8 almost always raise drainage questions, and a recorded survey with positions and depths — paired with a septic inspection on off-mains properties — answers them with evidence instead of assurances, before the price is settled.

Outside Ludlow itself, off-mains is simply how south Shropshire works. The Corvedale, the Clee slopes and the Teme valley are dotted with properties on private systems, many of them older installations that predate modern standards, and a good number still arranged in ways the 2020 rules no longer allow.
