Home Buyer CCTV Drain Survey Reports in Wigan

When buying a new property in the Wigan area, the drainage system is often overlooked, yet it represents one of the biggest potential hidden costs. A damaged or defective drain can lead to thousands of pounds in unforeseen repairs. Our Home Buyer CCTV Drain Surveys provide a clear, detailed, and official report on the condition of your prospective property's drainage, giving you complete peace of mind or powerful evidence for negotiation.

Why is a Pre-Purchase Drain Survey Essential?

A standard building survey, including RICS Level 2 or Level 3, does not cover the drainage system. They assume it is in good working order. However, common issues like tree root ingress, fractured pipes, or collapsed sections are invisible from above ground.

Our Official Survey Helps You:

Avoid Hidden Costs: Identify defects before you finalize the purchase, saving you from inheriting expensive repair bills.
Negotiate the Price: Use our professional report as evidence to request a repair allowance or a significant reduction in the property price.
Satisfy Mortgage/Insurance Requirements: Certain lenders or insurers may require a full drain survey before approving financing or coverage.

Our Official RICS-Standard Drainage Report

We provide a comprehensive, impartial report that is recognized by major banks, building societies, and solicitors. Our survey includes more than just an opinion—it delivers tangible, professional evidence:

Wincan-Formatted Data: The industry-standard electronic reporting system used by surveyors, engineers, and insurance companies.
Full Video Footage: You receive high-definition video of the entire pipe run, clearly showing any defects.
Detailed Site Plan: A clear schematic showing the layout of the drains, manholes, and the precise location of any fault.
Recommendations & Fixed Quotations: If a fault is found, the report includes our clear recommendations for repair along with a fixed-price quote for the work needed.

The CCTV Survey Process in the Wigan Area

Our surveys are non-invasive and efficient, causing zero disruption to the property:

Non-Invasive Inspection: We insert a state-of-the-art push camera into the system via existing access points (manholes, rodding points).
Full System Mapping: We systematically record the condition of every accessible run of pipework, noting all junctions, structural faults, and obstructions.
Same-Day Digital Delivery: The survey is conducted swiftly, and the full digital report (including video and Wincan data) is typically emailed to you and your solicitor within 24 hours of the inspection.
