Pre Purchase Drain Surveys in Petersfield, Hampshire

Why risk your life savings on a 'maybe'? Most RICS home surveys are fantastic for checking walls and roofs, but they rarely go further than lifting a manhole cover and peering inside. They won't see the structural defects lurking ten metres down the line. We use specialised waterproof cameras to navigate the entire system, looking for things like misaligned joints, cracked pipes, or the dreaded pitch fibre—a fragile material common in mid-20th-century Hampshire homes that's prone to internal collapse. By identifying these issues during the property purchase drainage check, you're put in a much stronger position. If we find a problem, you can use our detailed report to negotiate the house price down or ask the seller to fix the issues before you exchange contracts.

We don't just tell you there's a problem; we show you exactly where it is. Our CCTV drain survey involves sending a high-definition, remote-controlled camera through your pipes to record every inch of the system. This non-invasive 'health check' means we won't be digging up any manicured gardens or driveways in Petersfield just to see what's going on. We're looking for common local issues like root ingress from the beautiful mature trees that line our East Hampshire streets, as well as general wear and tear or blockages. It's a fast, clean, and highly effective way to get total peace of mind about the infrastructure of your potential new home.

Increasingly, banks and insurance providers are making a professional drainage survey a mandatory requirement for properties in certain parts of Hampshire. We provide comprehensive PDF reports that meet WRC standards (Water Research Council), making them perfectly suited for your solicitor or mortgage lender. These aren't just vague summaries; you'll get a clear breakdown of the pipework condition, video footage of the inspection, and a drain mapping plan so you know exactly where your lateral drains sit. If we do spot a fault, we'll provide a fixed-price quote for the necessary drain repairs, such as modern no-dig relining, so there's no guesswork involved for you or your legal team.
