CCTV Survey in Eastwood
Properties across Eastwood, particularly the Victorian and Edwardian homes that dominate NG16 and NG17 postcodes, often have separate sewer systems where surface water and foul drainage diverge. A CCTV survey reveals blockages, root intrusion, and structural defects before purchase – critical in Eastwood where misconnections (washing machines draining to surface water pipes) can trigger environmental enforcement from Broxtowe Council.
CCTV drain surveys in Eastwood use camera-equipped robots to inspect underground pipes, revealing blockages, cracks, and structural faults. The cost of a CCTV drain survey in Eastwood depends on pipe length and how easy the drain run is to access.

Drainage in Eastwood — what local engineers know
Eastwood sits within the Severn Trent Water authority area, where separate drainage systems create specific vulnerabilities. Broxtowe Council actively enforces against misconnections in Eastwood, particularly in rental properties and multi-occupancy units. The mix of pre-1920s terracing and modern infill developments means pipe materials vary widely – clay, cast iron, and PVC all present in Eastwood properties. Hard water from Severn Trent Water supply accelerates corrosion in older pipes, making pre-purchase diagnosis essential in this Nottinghamshire town.
- Hard water supply causes limescale accumulation in boilers, radiators and soil pipe joints — powerflush and descaling demand is high across Eastwood
- Separate sewer system across most of Eastwood: 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.
- Eastwood 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 Eastwood?
In Eastwood, 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 Eastwood affects where these boundaries typically fall, and our local engineers know the NG16, NG17, NG18 networks well enough to identify ownership quickly.
