CCTV Survey in Awsworth
Awsworth's predominantly separate sewer system and aging Victorian housing stock make CCTV drain surveys essential before purchase or after blockages. Whether you're buying a pre-1920s property in NG16 or diagnosing a recurring drain problem, a high-definition video inspection reveals what visual inspection can't — root ingress, joint collapse, and silt buildup. Severn Trent Water-approved surveyors use industry-standard WinCan coding so results are accepted by mortgage lenders and insurers.
CCTV drain surveys in Awsworth use high-definition video to inspect pipes for blockages, root damage, and deterioration. Results are coded to industry standards and accepted by mortgage lenders. Ideal for pre-purchase checks on Victorian properties and diagnosing recurring drain problems in NG16–NG19.
Drainage in Awsworth — what local engineers know
Awsworth falls within Broxtowe Council and Severn Trent Water's supply area, with High flood risk from the River Erewash, Beauvale Brook and Bailey Brook. A significant share of Awsworth's properties predate 1920 and use salt-glazed clay drains or lead-solder copper pipes — both prone to root ingress and joint failure. The town's separate sewer system is vulnerable to misconnection problems where surface water is incorrectly routed to foul drains, triggering enforcement action from regulators. Combined with high demand for hard-water descaling across Awsworth, drainage failures escalate quickly. CCTV inspection cuts through guesswork and prevents costly emergency repairs.
- Hard water supply causes limescale accumulation in boilers, radiators and soil pipe joints — powerflush and descaling demand is high across Awsworth
- Separate sewer system across most of Awsworth: misconnections (e.g. washing machines plumbed into surface water drains) are a known local issue and can result in environmental enforcement action
- With a significant share of properties built before 1920, salt-glazed clay drainage and lead-solder copper pipework are common — pipe collapse, root ingress and joint failure are recurring call-out drivers.
- Awsworth has Environment Agency flood warning areas nearby along the River Erewash corridor — basement and ground-floor properties can face sewer backflow during heavy rain; non-return valves are strongly recommended.

Who's responsible for drains in Awsworth?
In Awsworth, responsibility for a blocked or damaged drain depends on where the fault sits. As a homeowner you are responsible for the drains within your property boundary that serve only your home. Since the 2011 private sewer transfer, Severn Trent Water is responsible for shared sewers and lateral drains beyond your boundary — even where they run under private land. Road gullies and highway drainage are maintained by Broxtowe.
This matters because it determines who pays. If our engineer's CCTV inspection shows the fault is in a shared sewer, we'll tell you — and you can report it to Severn Trent Water rather than paying for the repair yourself. The separate sewer layout that dominates Awsworth affects where these boundaries typically fall, and our local engineers know the NG16, NG17, NG18 networks well enough to identify ownership quickly.
