CCTV drain inspection

Drain and sewage unclogging

See exactly what is inside your drain line

Before any guesswork or tile breaking, the camera goes inside the line and shows the exact fault on screen, and you watch alongside the technician.

  • 24-hour emergency
  • Camera first, every job
  • Leak detection without breaking
  • All six governorates

Mistakes that cost owners more

Breaking before surveying

Breaking tiles on guesswork costs far more than a camera run that pinpoints the fault first

Filming a blocked line

Running the camera through standing water obscures the view and gives unreliable results

Skipping the second pass

One camera run before work without a follow-up pass leaves no proof the line is clear

Ignoring minor displacement

A small joint displacement traps debris and causes repeat blockages if left unaddressed

Before you call for a survey

01

Identify the suspect line

Note which drain runs slow, smells or gurgles so the technician surveys the right line first

02

Locate the access point

Knowing where the inspection chamber or cleanout is tells the technician where to insert the camera

03

Stop using the line

Stop running water into the line before the survey; a dry pipe gives the camera a clear image

04

History of the problem

When the problem started and any previous clearing work helps interpret what the camera shows

How a proper CCTV drain survey is carried out

The survey starts by identifying the best entry point, whether a cleanout fitting, inspection chamber or cesspit opening. The flexible camera head is pushed slowly through the line while the feed appears on screen in real time. The technician and the owner view the same image: grease build-up, a cracked pipe joint, ground-displaced pipe sections or root intrusion all appear as they are. Nothing is assumed; every decision that follows is based on what the camera recorded.

Many drain lines in Kuwait carry hardened cooking oil that congeals as it cools, fine wind-blown sand that settles in bends, or cracks that opened after ground settlement. These faults do not show up through jetting alone or by listening from outside. On camera they are plain. When the owner watches the screen during the survey, the reason behind a recurring blockage becomes clear and the repair decision is made with full information rather than on assumption.

After any clearing or repair work the camera goes back in for a second pass. This confirms the line is free of remaining deposits and that no dislodged debris has re-lodged further along the pipe. If the first survey found a cracked or broken pipe section, the exact position is marked before any floor or ground is opened. Breaking is limited to the confirmed fault location only, which keeps reinstatement work to its practical minimum.

What decides the price

No fixed rate applies; the quote depends on the line, its access conditions and the scope of the survey

Line length and diameter

A longer or narrow-diameter line takes more time and needs a different camera head

Access conditions

An existing nearby cleanout reduces effort; sealed lines need more preparation work

Property type and use

Restaurant and complex lines are more involved than a single residential unit

Number of camera passes

Pre-work and post-work passes are two separate runs that affect the total cost

Call timing

Night, holiday and emergency calls are priced differently from standard hours

Common questions

+965 9668 4964

Does the owner watch the screen during the survey or receive images afterwards?

The owner watches the live feed alongside the technician during the survey. Nothing is interpreted on their behalf. What appears on screen is the basis for any decision that follows.

Can the camera detect an external leak in a line buried under the ground?

The camera sees cracks, fractures and points where groundwater enters the pipe from outside. This pinpoints the leak location precisely. In some cases acoustic detection is used alongside the camera to confirm the finding before any excavation.

Does the line need to be cleared before the camera goes in, or can the survey happen first?

If the line is fully blocked or holding standing dirty water, a light initial clear is done first so the camera gives a readable image. Filming through thick murky water produces an unreliable picture that cannot guide a repair decision accurately.

Does the camera pick up root intrusion inside pipes?

Yes. Roots from courtyard and street trees push through ageing pipe joints and gradually block the line. The camera shows them clearly and marks exactly where they entered the pipe, which guides the repair work.

Does a camera survey replace the need for a tanker suction call?

No, they serve different purposes. The camera diagnoses; jetting or suction is the treatment. Accurate diagnosis does prevent unnecessary tanker calls by confirming whether the issue is a blockage, a broken pipe or something that needs a different fix.

Can the drain lines of a full residential building be surveyed in one visit?

Main lines and inspection chambers of a building can be surveyed in one visit depending on the building size and number of lines. Branch lines to individual units are added based on the findings, coordinated with building management.
