Drain Surveys Completed

IMPORTANT: When purchasing a new home, it is essential to ensure the drainage system works correctly.

Let West Country Drainage Services take care of things for you with our home buyer surveys.

We will send a team to the property to investigate the system and clear any blockages with high-pressure water jetting.

We will then insert a CCTV camera to check the condition of the pipework. We will compile a full report of our findings and make any advisories known.

General Binding Rules

The next stage is to investigate the tank’s discharge point to ensure it complies with the General Binding Rules.
We will compile a full report of our findings with recommendations for changes, if necessary, so you can take this information to your solicitors when completing the house purchase.

Selling your home?

As a home seller, you have the option to book a drainage survey with us, which mirrors our homebuyer survey in thoroughness and detail.

This proactive approach ensures that you are selling with a compliant drainage system, providing peace of mind throughout the process. By having this report in hand, you can confidently present your property to potential buyers, minimising concerns about drainage issues that could lead to price negotiations.

When buyers see a well-documented drainage system, it significantly reduces the likelihood that they will attempt to negotiate a lower price based on potential problems. This transparency enhances buyer confidence and streamlines the sale, ultimately protecting your property’s value.

Investing in a drainage survey is a small price to pay for the assurance that your home’s drainage is sound, making it less likely that buyers will find reasons to knock money off your asking price. If the compliance report shows that the system is not compliant, we will provide a quote for the recommended changes so you can present both the survey and the quote to your solicitors to move the sale forward.
