This package is designed for pre-purchase property surveys and includes everything you need for a complete assessment of the drainage system.
Please Note: The listed price is based on an average 3 bedroom semi-detached property.
Larger properties may incur additional costs due to the increased drainage network.
For us to carry out an accurate CCTV drainage survey, the pipework needs to be clear enough to provide an unobstructed view of its condition.
If blockages, heavy debris, grease, silt or other build-up are present, a pre-clean may be required before the survey can be completed. This allows our camera equipment to obtain a clear view of the pipework and helps us accurately identify any defects or issues within the drainage system.
Where a pre-clean is required, an additional charge of £80 will apply. The reason the pre-clean was necessary, along with when it was carried out during the survey, will be clearly documented within your CCTV survey report.
