When Should You Get a Drain Inspection?
-
Before Buying a Property A pre-purchase drain inspection reveals hidden drainage problems that could cost thousands to fix — protect your investment before you sign.
-
Recurring Blocked Drains If the same drain keeps blocking despite clearing, there's an underlying structural problem. Inspection identifies it so you can fix it once.
-
Foul Smells from Drains Persistent sewage odours indicate a cracked or leaking pipe. Inspection locates the source quickly without digging.
-
Damp Walls or Wet Garden Underground drain leaks cause soil saturation and damp inside your home. CCTV inspection identifies the leaking pipe section precisely.
-
Pre-Renovation Check Before building an extension or major renovation, a drain survey ensures you know exactly where all underground pipes run.
