Drain Surveys in Warrington & The North West

A homebuyer drain survey acts as a health check for the property's hidden pipework. A standard surveyor can’t see what’s happening underground. Our camera inspection can uncover serious issues like cracks, root damage, or even collapsed drains that could lead to very expensive repairs, foul odours, or damp problems down the line. It’s a small investment for complete peace of mind, protecting you from nasty surprises after you've bought your new home.

You get much more than just a video. Our comprehensive service provides you with a detailed written report that maps out your drainage system. It will note the pipe materials, diameters, and depths. Most importantly, it will highlight the exact location of any defects or blockages we find, supported by high-definition images and the video recording. We then provide clear, expert recommendations for the most cost-effective solution to any problems discovered.

Persistent bad smells or unexplained damp patches on your property are classic signs of a faulty drain. A small crack or a displaced joint in an underground pipe can leak wastewater into the surrounding soil. This is often the hidden source of the issue. Our CCTV survey allows us to pinpoint the exact location of the leak, so a targeted repair can be made without digging up your entire garden to find it.

Not at all. The entire process is non-invasive. Our experienced engineers don't need to do any digging to carry out the survey itself. We access your drainage system using existing entry points like manholes or rodding access points. We can survey the drains for your home or business with minimal fuss, leaving your property exactly as we found it.

Typically, you are responsible for all the drains located within your property boundary that serve only your home. These are called private drains. If a drain is shared with a neighbour, or it runs outside your boundary, it is usually the responsibility of the local water authority. Our survey can help determine drain ownership, which is a vital piece of information when it comes to figuring out who should pay for repairs.
