Home Buyer CCTV Surveys: What to
Expect During the Process

When purchasing a new home, ensuring the property’s drainage system is in top condition is a crucial but often overlooked step. A home buyer CCTV survey offers a clear view of the drainage network, revealing any hidden issues before they turn into costly repairs. If you’re considering this vital inspection, here’s what you can expect during the process.

Step-by-Step Process of a Home Buyer CCTV Survey

1. Initial Consultation

The process begins with an initial consultation. Our team will discuss the property details, your concerns, and any known drainage issues. This step ensures that the survey is tailored to your specific needs. For more details on how we conduct these inspections, check out our page.

2. Site Visit and Equipment Setup

On the scheduled date, our drainage specialists will arrive on-site with advanced CCTV equipment. This includes a flexible, high-definition camera system designed to navigate the property’s drainage network. The setup process is quick and minimally invasive, ensuring no disruption to the property.

3. Inspection of the Drainage System

The camera is carefully inserted into the drainage system, providing live footage as it travels through the pipes. This step reveals critical issues such as:

Cracks or fractures in the pipes
Root intrusions causing blockages
Misaligned or collapsed sections of the drainage system

If we identify any significant problems, we’ll recommend our Drain Repair or Drain Excavation services to resolve them.

4. Recording and Reporting

As the inspection progresses, we record the findings and create a comprehensive report. This report includes:

Clear footage of the drainage system
A detailed explanation of any issues found
Recommendations for repairs or maintenance

5. Post-Survey Consultation

Once the survey is complete, we’ll sit down with you to discuss the findings. If any issues are identified, we’ll explain their potential impact and provide actionable recommendations to address them. This step ensures you’re fully informed before proceeding with the home purchase.
