Photographic & CCTV Surveys

Whether for towering office blocks or sprawling shopping malls, ventilation networks can span considerable distances. While some properties prefer to keep their ductwork on show as a feature of the building, others like to hide it away behind walls and ceilings. In either case, it can be a challenge to locate and identify the source of an issue, especially before it becomes too big to ignore. 

That is why IHSL offers photographic and CCTV surveys to perform visual inspections of ductwork interiors.

Whether for cleaning, maintenance or repairs on ventilation systems, these surveys enable us to see what’s going on, even in systems with restricted access.

What are the benefits?

  • Identifying Issues – These surveys allow us to locate and identify issues such as blockages, structural damage, pest infestation and the build-up of dirt, dust and grease.
  • Resolving HVAC Problems – Thanks to these visual inspections, our qualified technicians can determine the cause of problems like pressure loss, reduced airflow and faulty fans.
  • Pre- and Post-Clean Inspections – By surveying ductwork interiors prior to cleaning, we can assess the nature and extent of cleaning required. Once we have performed the clean, further surveys enable us to ensure we’ve exceeded our client’s expectations.
  • Highlighting Replacements – Wear and tear or a lack of maintenance can lead to faulty components that can affect efficiency, safety and compliance. These surveys enable us to locate malfunctioning fans, fire dampers and other such components in need of replacing. 
  • Cost-Effective – CCTV and photographic surveys help to keep your system in good working order, thereby reducing operational costs. In addition, they are generally far more efficient and cost-effective methods of fault-finding than many of the traditional processes.

In tandem with CCTV and photographic surveys, IHSL also carries out PVTs and microbiological sampling surveys.
