Is it worth getting a drain survey?
If you can smell foul odours, you have a blocked sink, flooded dishwasher or washing machine; it’s time to schedule a local drain survey expert from Drain Doctor. Using the latest equipment, our experts can send a CCTV drain inspection camera into your drainage system to identify and locate blockages, leaks or even spots if a drain has. Making use of drain surveys also removes the need to dig holes or trenches, keeping your property intact. Once the drain survey has been completed, our team can advise on the next steps.
Homebuyer and Vendor CCTV Drain Surveys
Drain camera surveys are recommended for homebuyers and vendors to make sure there aren’t any existing drainage issues that could cause serious problems further down the line, including cracked, leaky or faulty drains. Aside from water-related issues, a drain survey may also identify rodent concerns in the new home. By addressing any issues early on, you may avoid further costs during an otherwise expensive venture of homebuying.
Pre-tenancy Drain Surveys
It is the responsibility of landlords to maintain the condition of rental properties for their tenants. This involves making sure the drains, waste pipes and sewers are in good condition. A pre-tenancy drain CCTV survey will allow you to inspect the drainage system in a non-invasive way. A drain CCTV camera service is also useful for keeping a record of any damage that may have been caused by tenants.
Build Over CCTV Surveys
If you are building an extension to your property, your local water authority will need to know about it. They will require information including the location, measurements and condition of all drainage within 3m of the area. A build-over CCTV drain inspection survey will provide this information and should be carried out before and after building work.
Regular Drain Maintenance
Sometimes a reason isn’t needed when it comes to scheduling a CCTV drain survey. Drainage systems are constantly in use and can undergo a lot of stress, so regularly monitoring the system will let you keep track of the drainage health and catch a problem before it gets exponentially worse.
