What is a Home Buyers Drain Survey?
A home buyers drain survey is a specialist inspection of a property’s drainage system carried out using CCTV camera equipment.
The survey involves inserting a camera into the drainage system to assess the internal condition of the pipework, identify defects and highlight any issues that may require attention.
This type of survey is particularly useful when purchasing a property, as it provides clarity on the condition of the drainage system before contracts are exchanged.
Who Should Consider a Home Buyers Drain Survey?

Why Should You Get a Drain Survey Before Buying?
Drainage issues are not always visible during a standard property survey and can lead to costly repairs if left undetected.
A home buyers drain survey can help identify:
-
Cracked or collapsed pipework
-
Root ingress within the drainage system
-
Existing or developing blockages
-
Poorly installed or misaligned pipework
-
Signs of long-term wear and deterioration
Identifying these issues early allows you to factor in repair costs or raise concerns before completing the purchase.
