Pre Purchase Surveys
When considering the purchase of a property, it is crucial to have a clear understanding of the drainage system. Our comprehensive pre-purchase survey uncovers potential problems, enabling you to negotiate a better price, make an informed decision, or simply gain confidence in the property's drainage system. We use the latest camera equipment to conduct thorough inspections of your drainage system. By feeding the camera through the pipes, we look for any obstructions or damage, providing you with an industry-standard drainage survey report. With this detailed analysis in hand, you can proceed knowing you have taken proactive steps to mitigate any future drainage-related surprises.

Why Would You Need a Pre-Purchase Survey?
Pre-Purchase CCTV drainage footage is useful when weighing up the purchase of a property for either commercial or residential. It is possible to uncover potential problems, to either negotiate a better price, pull out of the purchase, or even just to have confidence that the drainage system is problem-free.
For a property buyer drain survey, a fully trained Grey-Water engineer will visit the property with the latest camera equipment to feed through the system to assess any obstructed or damaged pipes before compiling an industry standard drainage survey report. Purchasing a new commercial or residential property is stressful enough without unforeseen and expensive drainage problems after your occupancy; our pre-purchase survey report will give you peace of mind.

Examples of Our Pre-Purchase Drain Surveys
Why Take a Pre-Purchase Drain Inspection?
Mortgages
Mortgage lenders may request a survey before approving finance. A drain survey from Grey-Water Drainage can provide evidence needed to support the lending process and highlight any concerns before purchasing.
Identify Resolvable Issues
A CCTV camera inspection will flag any drainage issues before you become the homeowner and responsible for covering any costs.
Detailed Drainage Report
A generic property report won’t flag any drainage issues unless they are glaringly obvious and the inspector will not have the tools to access the drains and assess them.
Insurance
Existing drainage defects can sometimes lead to expensive repairs after you move in, and certain issues may affect future insurance claims or cover. A pre-purchase drain inspection creates a clear record of the drainage system’s condition to identify existing damage.

Benefits of a Pre-Purchase Survey
The CCTV drain survey inspects the property's entire drainage system. It not only identifies existing or potential issues but also provides valuable information for price negotiations or planning repairs before moving in.
Pre-Purchase Report Information
The information compiled in a CCTV drainage report may help buyers and sellers get a property sale over the line, but Grey-Water Drainage will also compile useful insights into the drainage system.
Drainage System Responsibility
The CCTV drainage report clarifies responsibility for the property's drainage and sewage systems, helping prevent confusion, neighbour disputes, and legal issues before problems like leaks or blockages arise.
Detailed Reporting
Using advanced drainage cameras, Grey-Water Drainage provides a detailed CCTV survey report with images and optional video. This report is useful for property sales or purchases, and engineers will explain any faults and needed repairs.
Drain Mapping
Our pre-purchase drain survey will include a map of the drainage and sewage system, which will save the expense of investigating this if any urgent repairs are required. It’s also beneficial to have information from a CCTV drain mapping survey in case you sell the property in the future.
