Why Drainage Surveys in Preston Matter When Buying a Home

A standard building survey often skips detailed checks of underground pipes—but collapsed drains, root ingress, fatbergs, and structural faults can lead to flooding, foul odours, and expensive emergency repairs soon after moving in. Our house buyer drain survey Preston uses high-definition cameras to reveal:

  • Cracks, misalignments, and collapsed sections

  • Root intrusion and heavy scale buildup

  • Blockages caused by fat, debris, or foreign objects

  • Overall pipe condition to satisfy lenders and insurers

With a comprehensive pre-purchase drain condition report Preston, you’ll have the evidence you need to renegotiate terms, budget for repairs, or walk away from high-risk properties.

What’s Included in a Residential Pre-Purchase Drain Camera Inspection Preston

  1. High-Definition CCTV Footage
    Complete video of every accessible drain run, showing the true internal state of your new home’s pipework.

  2. Structural & Blockage Diagnostics
    Detailed documentation of defects—cracks, root ingress, fatbergs, offsets—and any flow restrictions.

  3. Drainage Layout Mapping
    Traced and labelled diagrams of your property’s drain runs (where required), perfect for extensions or renovations.

  4. Jargon-Free Condition Report
    A clear, written report with annotated images and expert recommendations for repair or maintenance.

  5. Compliance Support
    Reports formatted to meet mortgage lender and insurance surveyor requirements, reducing chances of last-minute delays.

Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions about New House Buyer Drainage CCTV Inspections? Check out our FAQs to find out about some answers to general questions

A homebuyer CCTV drain survey is a non-invasive inspection of a property’s underground drainage system. Using high-definition cameras, we assess the condition of the pipework and provide a detailed report highlighting any damage, blockages, or structural issues.

Drainage problems can be expensive and disruptive, especially if discovered after moving in. A pre-purchase survey helps you identify hidden issues, avoid surprise repair costs, and potentially renegotiate the sale price.

No. Most standard property surveys don’t inspect drainage systems in detail. A dedicated CCTV drain survey offers a deeper look at one of the most overlooked (but essential) parts of the home.

Most surveys take 1 to 2 hours, depending on the size and accessibility of the drainage system. We aim to deliver the full report promptly—often within 24–48 hours.

Not at all. Our process is non-invasive—we use existing access points like manholes to inspect the drains. There’s no digging or disturbance to the property.

If we find any defects, we’ll outline them in the report with photos and repair recommendations. You can then use this information to plan repairs, request seller contributions, or renegotiate the offer before finalising the sale.

Some do—especially for older properties or homes with a history of drainage issues. A professional CCTV survey can satisfy these requirements and provide the documentation needed for approval.
