Your Drainage System Is Blocked
If you are dealing with an overflowing kitchen sink, toilet or there is even water pooling around an external drain, there is a huge chance, you have a blockage somewhere in the system. If you have tried all of the supermarket drain unblocking solutions, but the blockage persists, it is probably time to call in the professionals to get the job done right. A CCTV drain inspection will quickly identify the cause of the problem, so we are able to provide you with the most cost-effective solution.
You Live In An Older Home
Even if there are no signs of damage or blockage within your drainage systems, we would say it is always worth it to book a periodical drain inspection especially if your property is older than most. This is to make sure everything is working as intended and any potential problems are identified and dealt with quickly.
Drainpipes degrade over time, so having a drain inspection now and again can help identify any ages or damaged sections of pipes so that they can be replaced before they turn into a more expensive problem in your home.
If You Are Building An Extension
House prices are constantly increasing showing no signs of slowing down in the future, with many more people are considering extending their current property rather than going through all of the added expense and hassle of moving property. What you may not know, however, is that it is now a condition of the planning permission process to undertake a drainage survey prior to building work being carried out. This is something to be kept in mind when adding an extension to your home.
Your Buying A New House
A drain survey isn’t a legal requirement of the house buying process although you may find that some mortgage lenders now require one before a sale is agreed. It is strongly advised to have a home buyer drain survey carried out prior to exchanging contracts to ensure the drain system is in working order and to the highest standards.
Helping To Prevent Structural Damage
Structural damage can be one of the most serious and costly things which can happen to your home. If you have noticed mould or wet patches near the base of your walls, or you have noticed that some of your doors are no longer closing properly, cracks are appearing on the walls, there is bubbling or flaking paintwork, your floors are becoming uneven, it is extremely important to identify the cause of the issue as quickly as possible to help prevent any further damage to your property.
