Peace of Mind Before You Buy: Essential Homebuyer Drain Surveys in Dundee
Buying a new property is exciting, but it’s also one of the biggest investments you'll ever make.

Our detailed homebuyer drain surveys give you a full, clear picture of your property's drainage condition, helping you avoid nasty surprises and unexpected repair costs after you've moved in.

Uncovering Hidden Problems: Why a Drain Survey is a Must for Property Buyers
Many property problems stem from unseen drainage issues. Tree root ingress, cracked pipes, collapsed sections, blockages caused by fat or debris, and even incorrect pipework installation are common finds that can lead to significant expense and disruption. Our drain surveys are designed to identify these hidden issues before they become your responsibility. Knowing the condition of the drainage systems allows you to make an informed decision, negotiate effectively, or even pull out of a sale if the problems are too severe. It’s an essential part of your due diligence when buying any home.

Answers to common questions about our Homebuyer Drain Surveys
Why do I really need a drain survey when buying a house?
A standard property survey often doesn't cover the condition of underground drains. A specialised CCTV drain survey is the only way to find hidden problems that could cost thousands to fix after you move in. It’s a small investment for significant peace of mind and can save you from buying a property with serious, underlying drainage issues.
What kind of problems can a survey find?
Our expert surveys can identify a whole host of potential issues. We commonly find cracks, fractures, collapsed pipe sections, stubborn blockages from grease or debris, and significant tree root intrusion. We also check for poor pipe connections and signs of displacement, which could lead to future leaks and blockages.
Isn't a drain survey part of the standard home survey?
No, it usually isn't. A mortgage valuation or a basic Home Report focuses on the visible structure of the property. The drainage system is considered a specialist area. Buyers are often advised to seek a separate, expert inspection for systems like drains, plumbing, and electrics to get a full picture of the property's condition.
What happens during the survey and what do I get?
One of our qualified engineers will visit the property and use access points like manholes to feed a high-tech camera through the drainage system. The process is clean and requires no digging. Afterwards, we provide you with a full written report detailing our findings, a copy of the video footage, a map of the drainage system, and recommendations for any necessary work.
What if the drain survey finds a serious problem?
Finding a problem isn't necessarily a deal-breaker. Our detailed report gives you powerful negotiating leverage. You can go back to the seller and request they fix the issue before the sale completes, or you can negotiate a reduction in the property price to cover the cost of the repair work yourself. Either way, you are in control and won't be hit with a nasty surprise.
