As Colchester’s local CCTV drain survey provider, Subvision brings over 25 years of industry experience and the latest specialist techniques to the table. Our fully trained, WTI certified CCTV assessor utilizes the latest Wincan data software to produce in-house written reports, which undergo rigorous quality control procedures before issuance.

This service aids clients in determining the suitability of pipes and sewers for future developments by identifying faults, defects, or obstructions. Specializing in CCTV drain surveys, Subvision offers a comprehensive range of services for thorough inspection of drainage systems in Colchester. We ensure a safe working environment for builders, contractors, architects, planners, and private individuals.

Our cameras travel the full length of a drain run, capturing clear footage that allows our technicians to identify blockages, cracked or collapsed pipework, root ingress, misaligned joints and other structural defects. Because issues like these often show no visible sign at the surface, a CCTV survey is frequently the first point at which a developing problem is actually confirmed, giving you the chance to act before it becomes more serious or expensive to resolve.

Colchester’s long history means the drainage systems we survey vary considerably in age and condition, from centuries-old buildings in the historic town centre through to newer residential development on the outskirts. Older properties often have drainage that’s never been inspected since original installation, with root intrusion and joint displacement common findings after decades of ground movement, while newer developments can still show installation defects that only become apparent once a system has been in regular use. We adjust our approach to suit whichever type of property we’re surveying.

Our trained technicians record defects directly using Wincan software as the camera travels the length of the drain, building a clear, industry-standard report of what’s found. We can also produce STC25 manhole cards at the time of survey, giving you detailed information on manholes within the area of concern where required, particularly useful on Colchester sites where multiple manholes can serve overlapping or historic connections not always reflected in existing plans.

We’re SSIP and ISO accredited, and carry out CCTV drain surveys for Tier 1 contractors, developers and private individuals across Colchester, Southend on Sea, and the wider Essex area.
