Drain Survey Reports
Every survey comes with a professional report you can act on. It includes defect coding, locations, footage and plain-English recommendations.
What is a drain survey reports?
A drain survey report is the written, WRc/MSCC-coded record produced from a CCTV survey. It documents every defect, its position and its severity, alongside footage and clear recommendations. Because it uses a format that insurers, solicitors, lenders and contractors recognise, you can put it to work straight away.
A survey is only as useful as the report it produces. Because ours follow the WRc/MSCC coding standard, insurers, solicitors, lenders and contractors all recognise them — yet we write them so a non-specialist understands exactly what they mean.
Each report ties observations to distances and severity, and includes representative imagery or footage. It then prioritises any recommended work, so you know what to tackle first.
When you need a drain survey reports
- You are making an insurance claim for drainage damage
- You are buying or selling and need drainage evidence
- You need a report for a build-over or build-near agreement
- A contractor has asked for a coded survey before quoting
- There is a dispute over shared or party-wall drains
Why it matters
Industry-standard coding
We code every defect to the WRc/MSCC standard that professionals recognise. As a result, insurers, solicitors and contractors accept the report without question.
Plain-English summary
You get a clear overview up front, with the technical detail behind it. Because we write it for non-specialists, you can act on it straight away.
Evidence that travels
The report suits insurance claims, property transactions and contractor quotes alike. Consequently, one document covers whatever comes next.

How it works
- 01
Capture
First, we record footage and observations during the survey and log every distance. Because accuracy matters, we never estimate positions after the fact.
- 02
Code & assess
Next, we code each defect and assess it for severity and urgency. That way, you can see at a glance what needs attention first.
- 03
Deliver
Finally, the finished report lands in your inbox, usually the same day. It arrives ready to forward to an insurer, solicitor or builder.

Drain Survey Reports — your questions answered
Is there a separate charge for the report?
No. Because the survey price already covers the written, coded report and the footage, there is no separate report fee. You get everything in one fixed-price quote.
Will insurers accept the report?
Yes. Because the reports follow the WRc/MSCC standard used across the drainage and insurance industries, insurers accept them as evidence.
What coding standard do you use?
We code to the WRc Manual of Sewer Condition Classification, or MSCC. It is the recognised UK standard for drain and sewer condition reporting.
How quickly do I get the report?
Most reports are delivered the same day as the survey. However, very large commercial systems can occasionally take a little longer.
