What Is a Home Buyers Drain Survey?
A home buyers drain survey is a comprehensive survey that inspects a property's drainage system before purchase is completed.
Using state of the art CCTV inspection tools, our experts identify potential problems such as blockages, cracks, or tree roots. This type of survey gives evidence of any drainage issues, helping you plan ahead and avoid future costs.
Often required by insurers or mortgage providers, this process ensures compliance, supports informed decisions, and helps buyers understand the condition of the drainage system clearly.
Pre-Purchase Drain Survey Services
At Tru Flow Drainage, we specialise in pre-purchase drain surveys designed to protect your investment and avoid drainage problems.
Our fully qualified drainage engineers use state of the art equipment to inspect drains and detect damage. Whether you are buying in Blackpool, Preston, Chorley, or elsewhere in Lancashire, you’ll receive a full survey with a detailed report including images, analysis, and professional recommendations.
CCTV Drain Inspection
We carry out detailed drain inspections using the latest equipment and high-resolution CCTV cameras to inspect drains accurately.
Our inspection process can identify cracks, collapsed pipes, blockages, and root intrusions. This efficient and non-invasive approach ensures your drainage system is in good condition and helps avoid expensive repairs.
Detailed Drainage Report
After the CCTV drain survey, you’ll receive a complete and clear drainage report. It includes images, observations, and expert advice to help you understand the condition of your system.
This report identifies potential problems and gives confirmation of any work required, making it easier to trust the information and negotiate with confidence.
Mapping of Drain Layout
Our surveys include a site plan showing all connected pipes and drains, helping you understand the layout before construction or renovation begins.
This mapping helps builders avoid damage and lets you inspect the full drainage infrastructure in detail before buying the property. This also supports future planning and saves time and money in the long run.
Identification of Drainage Problems
Our expert team identifies common and hidden faults including collapsed sections, root ingress, displaced joints, and blockages.
Early identification gives you the opportunity to address these problems before finalising the purchase. It also provides peace of mind and helps avoid damage, saving you from high costs in the future.
Recommendations for Repairs
We provide clear, straight-forward repair recommendations based on the drain survey results.
Whether it’s root removal, patch lining, or excavation, you’ll receive advice on the remedial works required. Our aim is to assist you in making informed decisions and understanding the importance of drainage maintenance for the property.
Insurance or Mortgage Needs
Our surveys meet the requirements of most mortgage lenders and insurers. The drainage report shows whether the system is in good condition or highlights any faults and repairs needed.
This helps speed up the mortgage or insurance process and gives you peace of mind. With clear evidence and expert reporting, you can move forward confidently.
