Home Buyers Drain Survey Wirral

An expert drainage survey to determine the state of the drains will give you a good level of detail to use for future reference. This includes:

• Drainage Structural Condition - this is where many people think the survey ends, but we provide much more information than just the condition of the drainage pipework.
• Location of Misconnections - these are additional problems that individuals frequently find and so are problematic. We'll bring these to your attention.
• Root Intrusion - although a tree or large shrub may seem to be a distance from the home, these roots can travel a fair way and could damage drain walls and joints. A professional drain survey will identify when the has happened.
• Pest Invasion - We don’t like the thought of rats crawling around our pipes and sewers but this is when you uncover them. They could burrow between joints making their properties inside the surrounding earth. This excavation can lead to a collapse of drainpipes and therefore searching for the presence of vermin is important.
• Drain Mapping - A drain map allows you to discover the positioning of drainage system as well as the location of specific components. This really is frequently especially helpful if home proprietors are planning on future property extensions or significant changes to garden terrain. Best to understand what lies below and exactly how much cheaper it is to fix it.
• Drainage System Possession - Do you know whose responsibility it is if a problem occurs? Possibly you are familiar with a shared drain? A proper drain survey will allow you to understand where your responsibility ends and your neighbour's responsibility begins.

Getting all this information to hand equips home proprietors with the best information prior to making a purchase, plus, should you go ahead and buy the property, you will have valuable information about the layout of your drains in the event of any problems and prior to any further development.

A Home Buyer Drain Survey often uncovers a variety of issues that might not be visible during a standard property inspection. One of the most common problems is collapsed or cracked pipes, which can lead to blockages, leaks, or even flooding if left untreated.

Another frequent issue is fat or grease build-up, particularly in older properties where drainage systems may not have been properly maintained. Misconnections, where wastewater pipes are incorrectly connected to the drainage system, are also a typical problem and can cause environmental hazards. Identifying these issues early allows buyers to make an informed decision and potentially negotiate repairs with the seller.
