Home Buyer CCTV Surveys
what we do
A homebuyer CCTV drain survey offers essential insight into a property’s underground pipework condition before contracts are exchanged. Many homes hide concealed drainage faults that could result in costly repairs after purchase. Our on-site CCTV surveys provide buyers and sellers with a clear, detailed understanding of the system’s state, enabling confident decisions and more straightforward transactions.
Why a CCTV Drain Survey Matters When Buying or Selling
Drainage systems are frequently overlooked during standard property surveys. However, a cracked or collapsed pipe can lead to flooding, unpleasant odours, or ground movement if not addressed. For buyers, identifying these issues before completion helps prevent unexpected expenses later. For sellers, providing recent survey results demonstrates system integrity and can avoid delays in negotiation. Our homebuyer and home seller drainage surveys are conducted on-site by experienced engineers, delivering reliable results you can depend on.
What Our On-Site CCTV Surveys Involve
Each inspection uses high-quality camera systems capable of assessing both foul and surface water drainage networks. The equipment captures live and recorded footage as it moves through the pipework, identifying blockages, cracks, displaced joints, and other structural defects. Our engineers classify faults according to national standards and record their exact location and severity. The process is completely non-invasive, allowing for an accurate condition assessment without excavation.
Detailed Reporting for Informed Decisions
Following the survey, you will receive a detailed drainage condition report. This includes:
- Annotated diagrams and manhole details
- Connectivity and ownership information
- Footage of any defects or areas of concern
- Recommendations for remedial work and indicative costs
The report can be shared with solicitors, mortgage lenders, or surveyors, aiding fair negotiation and ensuring full awareness of any issues before completion.
express Turnaround Options
We understand that property transactions often operate under tight deadlines. To assist with this, we offer an expedited turnaround service, typically providing reports within three working days of inspection. This ensures results are ready in time for exchange while upholding our usual standards of precision and accuracy.
