Pre-Purchase Homebuyer Surveys
We check the real condition of a property's drains before you commit to buying it.
Drains are easy to overlook when you're buying a property, but a hidden problem, like a collapsed pipe or root damage, can be expensive to fix later. A pre-purchase drain survey shows you the real condition before you commit.
Our engineers will run a CCTV camera through the property's drainage system, check for blockages, cracks, root ingress and other defects, and give you a clear written report with footage you can use to inform your decision or negotiate on price.
Contact our friendly team by calling 0203 870 1067 or sending an email to contactus@icedrainage.co.uk to learn more about our pre-purchase homebuyer survey services.
