Pre-Purchase Drain Surveys
Across Hayling Island, Havant , Portsmouth & Hampshire
Professional CCTV inspections and detailed reports for home buyers.

Our survey process is straightforward, non-invasive, and designed to give you clear answers without disrupting the property. Our fully trained technicians will access the drainage system via existing manholes and inspection chambers, meaning there is no need to dig up the garden or driveway.We feed a high-tech, remote-controlled waterproof CCTV camera directly into the underground pipework. This allows us to map the system and identify any structural defects, blockages, or wear and tear. Once the inspection is complete, we provide a comprehensive PDF report that adheres to industry-recognised WRC standards, which is suitable for both mortgage lenders and insurance providers.

Without a dedicated survey, you risk inheriting hidden nightmares such as collapsed pipes, severe root intrusion, or deteriorating pitch fibre. These unseen issues can lead to persistent blockages, dampness, and eventually, the threat of subsidence to your property's foundations.A pre-purchase drain survey is your ultimate safeguard against nasty surprises. If our cameras identify misaligned joints or other structural defects, the detailed report provides you with powerful negotiating leverage. You can ask the current vendor to rectify the issues before completion or renegotiate the house price to cover the eventual repair costs.
