Planning a New Build or Extension in Horwich? You Need a Build Over Drain Survey

Embarking on a new home extension, conservatory, or even a full new build in Horwich is an exciting time. But before you start digging, there's a crucial step many homeowners and developers overlook: the 'Build Over' drain survey. If your planned construction sits over or close to a public sewer, your local water authority – likely United Utilities here in Horwich and across the North West – will require a specialist survey. This isn't just a bureaucratic hurdle; it’s about protecting vital infrastructure and ensuring your project proceeds smoothly, without risking damage to existing drainage lines.

Why Choose Us?

What is a Build Over Drain Survey and Why is it Essential?

A Build Over drain survey, often called a pre-build CCTV drain survey, is a detailed inspection of the public sewers or drains that run underneath or very close to your proposed building work. Using advanced CCTV drain cameras, our skilled surveyors navigate the pipes, meticulously checking their condition before any construction begins. We look for existing defects like cracks, root ingress, blockages, or misaligned pipes. The local water authority needs this 'before' picture to ensure your building doesn't negatively impact their assets, and to protect you from future liability if a problem arises post-construction. It provides a vital snapshot, allowing you to proceed with confidence and meet regulatory standards.
