Drainage Surveyor:-

Drainage Surveys used to be fairly straightforward. A chartered surveyor would turn up and carry out an agreed level of inspection, ranging from ‘basic’ up to the dreaded ‘structural’, with an appropriately sliding scale of charges. Most people would opt for the least expensive their mortgage lender would accept. These days, against a backdrop of compensation culture and litigation, it seems there are more exclusions than inclusions on any official paperwork. So a surveyor is likely to add disclaimers about anything he or she can’t actually see or inspect properly — like drains. Hence the increasing need for a proper Homebuyers’ drainage survey. If your property has been subject to extremes of weather — droughts and floods — there is an increased risk of subsidence, and here again, a CCTV survey will show up if the drains have moved and caused a fracture in the pipe. Drainage Specialists will provide, via this website, an estimate for the cost to visit a property, inspect the drains and where relevant produce a report. These estimates are from local Specialists who cover the area. In each case the price assumes that there is adequate access to the drains (usually via man hole covers). In many cases jetting to clean out the drain will be required before a CCTV survey can be undertaken. Should excavation be required to gain access, each specialist will usually have an additional price for this (at an hourly rate). It is very important to identify and agree the various charges before work commences.

The CCTV camera inspection can reveal many things such as blockages, bad pipe work, fractures, collapsed pipes, root intrusions, rat or rodent infestation, badly laid pipe work which have the incorrect gradient causing back-fall or bellowing in the pipe work, open or displaced joints allowing the loss of water into the ground which possibly could lead to subsidence, so whatever the size of your property we can deal with it.
