A homebuyer drain survey, when conducted by professionals such as us, is always done with the best interests of the homeowner in mind. We look to provide as much information as possible regarding the drainage systems of the property to the potential buyer.
A pre-purchase drain survey is an essential step in the homebuying process, not just in the interests of the buyer, but the insurance and mortgage company too. But why’s this so important in the first place? Neglected or damaged drains could cause significant structural harm if overlooked. To avoid any potential risks to the home you want to buy, it’s essential we find out where the drainage system runs. This is especially crucial if you intend to tear down walls and refurbish once you move in.
Using the latest CCTV drain camera equipment, sonde tracing and more, we will be able to dive into the drainage systems on any property to check the pipe condition. We will use mapping and tracing, with a comprehensive CCTV report for you once this is complete.
You may like to know how our homebuyer drain surveys differ from general residential drain surveys. Unlike the latter, a homebuyer drain survey must be conducted ahead of buying any property. This allows any new homeowner to examine the drainage systems and understand them, which helps inform their decision and offers insight into the wellness of the property. These are things that every party involved (such as the mortgage and insurance companies) during the process of buying a house will need.
