Sewer Inspections In Middlewich

There are several crucial times when a sewer inspection becomes invaluable for homeowners, landlords, and businesses in Middlewich and across Cheshire:

• Buying a Property: A pre-purchase drain survey (often called a Homebuyer Drain Survey) is vital. It uncovers potential hidden drainage issues before you commit, saving you from inheriting costly problems down the line.
• Recurring Blockages: If you experience persistent blocked drains or foul smells, a survey helps us pinpoint the exact cause – be it a build-up of fat, oil, grease (FOG), foreign objects, or structural damage. We then recommend the best course of action, which might include high-pressure water jetting for clearance or a targeted repair.
• Property Extensions or New Builds: If you're planning an extension that will build over or near existing public sewers, you’ll likely need a Build Over Agreement from your water authority, such as United Utilities. Our surveys provide the necessary documentation.
• Suspected Damage: Signs like damp patches, sinkholes, or subsidence near drainage lines can indicate a collapsed drain or serious damage. A survey confirms the problem and helps us plan the most effective repair.
• Insurance Claims: Many insurance companies require a professional drain survey report to validate claims related to drainage issues.
