  • Pre Purchase Surveys

    When considering the purchase of a property, whether for commercial or residential purposes, it is crucial to have a clear understanding of the drainage system's condition. Our comprehensive pre-purchase survey allows you to uncover potential problems, giving you the power 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 the drainage system. By feeding the camera through the pipes, we assess for any obstructions or damages, providing you with an industry-standard drainage survey report. With this detailed analysis in hand, you can proceed with your property purchase, knowing that you have taken proactive steps to mitigate any future drainage-related surprises.

​​Pre-Purchase Surveys

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.

Why take a pre-purchase drain inspection?

 Benefits of a pre-purchase survey 

The CCTV inspection survey itself involves investigating a property’s drainage as a whole but is not just useful for finding damage, ongoing or potential drainage issues. All of the information uncovered in the pre-purchase drain survey is useful to have during the purchase process, either to negotiate a better price, or to plan the works required ready to move into the property.

 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 will ascertain who is responsible for the drainage and sewage systems around the property, something not considered until a drainage problem such as a leak or blocked drain occurs. Much like a property boundary report, the insight from a CCTV drainage inspection will help you avoid confusion, neighbour disputes and legal problems.

 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.

 Detailed reporting 

Using our state-of-the-art drainage cameras, Grey-Water Drainage customers will receive a detailed CCTV survey report, inclusive of images and if requested video from the CCTV survey equipment. The details collated are useful to refer to when selling or purchasing a property and our engineers will be happy to explain any drainage faults and highlight the remedial work required.
