For homebuyers & conveyancers
Pre-purchase drain surveys
Leeds & West Yorkshire
Your structural survey won't check underground drains. A pre-purchase CCTV drain survey gives you an independent, professional view of the property's drainage system before you exchange — so there are no expensive surprises after you move in.
Book a pre-purchase surveyWhy drainage matters when buying a house
Drainage repairs are some of the costliest problems a new homeowner can face. A collapsed sewer pipe under a driveway can cost £5,000–£15,000 to repair. Root-damaged drains under a garden can cost more.
These problems are invisible to the naked eye — you won't find them in a visual survey or a walk-round viewing. A CCTV drain survey is the only way to see inside the pipes before you commit.
We're independent of any repair company. Our job is simply to tell you what we find — so you can make an informed decision.
Know before you commit
Exchange contracts knowing the drains are sound — or armed with evidence to negotiate.

Our written report is accepted by solicitors, mortgage lenders and conveyancers.
