A CCTV drain inspection sends a waterproof camera through your drain or sewer line to record its condition. HydroJetDubai uses it to pinpoint blockages, cracks, root ingress, misalignment and collapses across Dubai, locating the exact problem and giving you footage and a written report.
CCTV drain surveys across Dubai
You can’t fix what you can’t see. A CCTV drain inspection sends a waterproof, self levelling camera through the line and shows you exactly what’s happening inside, the blockage, the crack, the root, the dip in the pipe, and precisely where it is. That means the right repair the first time, instead of digging on a hunch.
We survey drains and sewer lines for homeowners, landlords, facilities teams and property buyers across the emirate, and hand you the footage and a clear written summary you can keep.
What a CCTV survey finds
- Blockages, and, crucially, what’s causing them
- Cracks, fractures and holes in the pipe
- Root ingress through joints and defects
- Displaced joints, dips and collapsed sections
- Scale, corrosion and general pipe condition
When you need a drain survey
- A drain that keeps blocking for no obvious reason
- Before buying a property (a pre purchase drain survey)
- Before and after drainage repairs or building work
- Unexplained smells, damp or subsidence
- For insurance, maintenance records or facility handovers

Guesswork vs a CCTV survey
| Outcome | CCTV survey | Digging on a guess |
|---|---|---|
| Locates the exact fault | Yes | No |
| Avoids unnecessary digging | Yes | No |
| Gives you evidence & footage | Yes | No |
| Confirms a repair worked | Yes | No |
| Cost certainty | Higher | Lower |
What you receive
After the survey you get recorded footage of the line, a written summary of what we found, and the location of any defects, everything you need to make a decision or hand to a contractor, landlord or insurer. Where a blockage is found, we can clear it with hydro jetting in the same visit.
What affects the cost
- The length of drain to be surveyed
- Ease of access to the line
- Whether a written report and location plan are required
- Whether cleaning or jetting is needed to run the camera
CCTV drain inspection FAQs
What does a CCTV drain survey show?
It shows the inside of your drain in detail, blockages and their cause, cracks, root ingress, displaced joints, dips and collapsed sections, along with the exact location of each defect so the right repair can be planned.
Do you provide footage and a report?
Yes. You receive recorded footage of the line and a written summary of the findings, plus the location of any defects, useful for repairs, property records, landlords and insurers.
Do I need a survey before buying a property?
A pre purchase drain survey is strongly recommended. Drainage faults are expensive and hidden; a survey tells you the condition of the drains before you commit, and can be used in negotiations.
Can you clear the blockage during the survey?
Yes. If the camera finds a blockage, we can clear it in the same visit with rodding or hydro jetting, then rerun the camera to confirm the line is clear.
How long does a drain survey take?
A typical residential survey takes under an hour. Larger properties or long commercial runs take longer. We’ll give you a time when we understand the scope.
Can I get a CCTV drain survey near me in Dubai?
Yes. We carry out CCTV drain inspections throughout Dubai, so a survey team is always within reach of your property. Tell us your community when you book and we will bring the camera equipment to you, with footage and a report to follow.
