CCTV Drain Surveys for Homebuyers — Spot Hidden Issues Early

Buying a property in Bournemouth is an exciting step, but hidden drainage issues can quickly turn it into a costly mistake. A CCTV drain survey in Bournemouth gives buyers a clear view of what’s happening underground, ensuring there are no nasty surprises after completion.

Why Homebuyers Need a CCTV Drain Survey

Most home surveys don’t include drainage checks. That means cracked pipes, collapsed drains, and root intrusions often go unnoticed until flooding or backups occur. A professional CCTV drain inspection offers video evidence of your drainage system’s condition, helping you make an informed decision before purchase.

What a CCTV Drain Survey Involves

During a CCTV drain survey, a specialist engineer inserts a high-definition camera into your drains. This provides a live video feed that identifies:

  • Structural damage such as cracks, misaligned joints, or collapses.
  • Root ingress, debris buildup, and corrosion.
  • Signs of previous repairs or patch liners.
  • Blockages that could cause future flooding.

Once completed, you’ll receive a detailed report including footage, condition grades, and repair recommendations.

Key Benefits for Bournemouth Homebuyers

Choosing a CCTV drain survey in Bournemouth can save thousands in future repair bills. Key advantages include:
✅ Negotiation Power – Use the findings to renegotiate property prices or request repairs.
✅ Peace of Mind – Confirms your drainage is structurally sound.
✅ Insurance Compliance – Some policies now require pre-purchase inspections.
✅ Long-Term Savings – Prevents recurring problems by addressing root causes early.

Common Issues Found in Bournemouth Homes

Bournemouth’s coastal environment means older homes often have clay or pitch-fibre drainage pipes. These can crack, deform, or collapse over time due to soil movement and salt exposure. A CCTV drain survey reveals these vulnerabilities before they become emergencies.

If issues are detected, our experts can recommend cost-effective solutions such as CIPP lining, drain jetting, or targeted drain repairs.
