CCTV Survey in Raunds
Raunds' housing stock is predominantly Victorian and Edwardian terraces (collectively 32% of the town), many built long before modern plumbing standards. A CCTV drain survey in Raunds reveals misconnections, root ingress, and structural issues invisible from above ground. For buyers purchasing a Victorian or Edwardian home in Raunds (postcodes NN9–NN11), a pre-purchase drain survey is often the only way to avoid expensive remediation. Raunds operates a separate sewer system under Anglian Water; CCTV verification confirms your property's drains comply with local environmental law.
A CCTV drain survey in Raunds uses a waterproof camera through drains to reveal structural damage, root ingress, blockages, and misconnections. In Raunds' Victorian and Edwardian housing stock, a pre-purchase survey is essential. Anglian Water's separate sewer system requires CCTV proof of misconnection remediation before Raunds properties transfer.
Drainage in Raunds — what local engineers know
North Northamptonshire Council's building stock records show Raunds is heavily weighted toward pre-1950s properties. Anglian Water's separate sewer system across Raunds NN9–NN12 requires foul and surface water drains to be segregated. Misconnections in Raunds (washing machines or sinks routed to surface water drains) trigger enforcement and remediation costs. Hard water from Anglian Water accelerates buildup and corrosion in clay pipes common throughout Raunds' Victorian terraces. Root ingress is a growing problem in Raunds as mature trees in gardens encroach on aging plastic and ceramic pipes. A CCTV survey in Raunds provides documentary evidence of sewer compliance and structural integrity, essential for mortgage lenders and property sales.
- Hard water supply causes limescale accumulation in boilers, radiators and soil pipe joints — powerflush and descaling demand is high across Raunds
- Separate sewer system across most of Raunds: misconnections (e.g. washing machines plumbed into surface water drains) are a known local issue and can result in environmental enforcement action
- Ageing infrastructure in parts of Raunds means drain blockages from grease, wipes and root ingress remain the most common call-out reasons
- With 32% 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.

Who's responsible for drains in Raunds?
In Raunds, 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, Anglian 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 North Northamptonshire.
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 Anglian Water rather than paying for the repair yourself. The separate sewer layout that dominates Raunds affects where these boundaries typically fall, and our local engineers know the NN9, NN10, NN11 networks well enough to identify ownership quickly.
