What Is a Home Buyers Drain Survey?
A home buyers drain survey is a detailed inspection of a property's drainage system, carried out before the purchase is finalised.
Using advanced CCTV technology, it identifies hidden issues such as blockages, structural damage, or root intrusion. This type of survey helps protect buyers from unexpected repair costs after moving in.
It’s often required by mortgage lenders or insurance companies and provides valuable insights into the drain’s condition, supporting informed decisions during the property buying process.
Pre-Purchase Drain Survey Services
At Tru Flow Drainage, we specialise in pre-purchase drain surveys that reveal the true condition of a property's drainage system.
Our expert engineers use CCTV equipment to inspect for damage or defects. You'll receive a detailed report to support your decision, helping you avoid costly surprises when buying in Blackpool, Preston, Chorley, or Lancashire.
CCTV Drain Inspection
We carry out a thorough inspection using high-resolution CCTV cameras to examine the internal condition of your drains.
This non-invasive method helps us detect blockages, cracks, root ingress, or collapsed pipes quickly and efficiently, giving you a clear understanding of the drainage system before you buy.
Detailed Drainage Report
Following the CCTV survey, we provide a detailed drainage report containing images, observations, and professional recommendations.
This report helps identify any underlying or potential problems and is ideal for use during negotiations, giving buyers solid evidence of the drainage system’s condition and any work required.
Mapping of Drain Layout
Our surveys include full mapping of the drainage layout to identify all underground pipes and their connections. This is useful for planning renovations or extensions, ensuring builders avoid damaging pipework.
It also helps you understand the complete drainage infrastructure before completing the property purchase.
Identification of Drainage Problems
We identify common and hidden drainage issues such as displaced joints, cracks, root intrusions, collapsed sections, and obstructions.
By spotting these problems early, we help you avoid expensive future repairs and give you the opportunity to have them addressed before finalising your home purchase.
Recommendations for Repairs
Along with identifying faults, we provide clear recommendations for repairs. These may include patch lining, excavation, or root removal, depending on the problem.
Our expert advice ensures you understand the scope of the work needed and can make informed decisions when negotiating with sellers.
Insurance or Mortgage Needs
Our drain surveys meet the requirements of most mortgage lenders and insurance providers. The report gives assurance that the drainage system is in good condition or outlines necessary repairs.
This can speed up mortgage approvals and provide peace of mind for both buyers and financial institutions.
