CCTV Drain Surveys in Oswestry
Camera surveys of drains and private sewers with a recorded video and written report, for repeat blockages, home purchases and pre-works checks. Serving Oswestry and the surrounding villages, including Whittington, Gobowen, St Martin’s, Trefonen.
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.
Rural sales around Oswestry now routinely stall on drainage questions, and a camera survey is the fastest way to unstick one. Border properties often carry improvised historical arrangements — a brick tank here, a pipe towards a ditch there — that no seller can accurately describe and no buyer should take on trust. A survey with position and depth, paired with a septic system inspection, tells both sides what compliance will actually cost before the price is agreed rather than after.
Off-mains drainage is everywhere in the Oswestry hinterland. The upland villages west of the town were never economical to sewer, and even larger settlements have unsewered edges. Border properties often date from an era when a brick-built tank and a pipe to the nearest ditch was standard practice, an arrangement the 2020 rules now require owners to change.

The market here runs from stone upland farmhouses to village semis and smallholdings, with plenty of buyers coming over the border or out from Chester and Wrexham.
