Drain leak detection and CCTV surveys for care homes

What does a CCTV drain survey show?

A CCTV inspection can help identify defects, obstructions and the general condition of accessible drainage serving the care home. Tell ADI about slow drainage, recurring blockages, previous repairs and the location of inspection chambers.

Agreeing the drain survey area at a care home

Before the visit, identify which rooms or buildings use the affected drain, share any existing drainage plans and explain access restrictions to ADI.

• Drainage serving bathroom and laundry areas
• Accessible underground drainage runs
• Recurring problems following clearance work
• Investigation to inform a targeted repair

Managing resident access around a care home drainage problem

The care home’s team should keep residents clear of affected areas and follow the home’s own incident and cleaning arrangements during a drainage problem. Confirm whether clearance, cleaning or repair work is included; these may be separate services.
