Homebuyer & Pre-Purchase Drain Surveys
Serving Exmouth, Budleigh Salterton, Sidmouth & East Devon

We use advanced, non-destructive CCTV drain surveys to inspect the hidden pipework beneath your prospective new home. First, we feed a high-tech camera into the system to record crystal-clear footage of the drains. This professional process allows us to spot any existing or developing issues without lifting a single patio slab or digging up the garden. After the survey, we provide you with a detailed, industry-standard Wincan report. This document clearly outlines the structural condition of the drains, maps out the system, and highlights any recommended collapsed drain repairs. It is an essential tool that solicitors and buyers rely on to negotiate property prices or insist on repairs before completion.

Drains degrade over the years, and a full survey often reveals issues that would otherwise cost thousands of pounds to fix. In leafy areas around Clyst Heath, Broadclyst, and Exeter, root ingress detection is incredibly important. Tree roots frequently force their way into pipe joints in search of moisture, causing severe damage. We also regularly find displaced joints, fatbergs, and partial pipe collapses. Another critical element we check is ownership. We map the system to clarify which pipes fall under your responsibility and which are managed by South West Water. Identifying these issues early gives you the leverage to ask the current owner to sort the repairs before you move in.Need a fast response in East Devon? Contact us now on 01395 206662.

The local landscape across Devon presents unique challenges for drainage systems. Whether you are looking at an older period property in Topsham or a modern build in Clyst Heath, knowing how the ground affects your pipes is crucial. Clay-heavy soils in the Exeter area can cause ground movement, putting pressure on older clay pipes. Additionally, if the property is not connected to the mains sewer, you need to ensure any off-mains setup complies with the latest Environment Agency General Binding Rules. Our septic tank surveys and checks on private wastewater treatment plants ensure the installation meets current Exeter City Council and East Devon District Council regulations, saving you from potential fines or replacement costs down the line.
