Overlooking drainage issues during a property purchase can lead to a cascade of problems. Ignored blockages, leaks, or structural weaknesses may escalate over time, resulting in extensive damage to the property’s foundation, walls, and landscaping.
This can incur substantial repair costs, disrupt daily life, and even affect the property’s resale value. Additionally, unaddressed drainage problems might attract pests and pose health hazards, turning what seemed like a dream home into a persistent nightmare.

Preventive Measures for Future Savings

Addressing drainage concerns proactively can significantly mitigate future expenses. A drainage survey before purchase offers insights into potential issues, allowing buyers to negotiate repairs with sellers or opt for a different property altogether.

Had our drains relined by Rapid Drains in August 23, due to having to rod the drains every month. No issues until April 24, when the wall above the pipe collapsed. Called emergency home care over the weekend and they couldn’t come out till Monday. Called Sam on Monday and he was more than happy to come out free of charge to resolve the issue. Emergency home care cancelled. All sorted now. Thanks Rapid Drains.

Had sam and marley. Who came to the property. They were very polite, and professional throughout the time they were there..They were able to establish many complications with the blockages in my property and around the neighbouring properties. .Throughout their investigation they had found that it was a shared line and would be needing further action. Very much appreciated from them both .

Why is a drainage survey important when buying a home?

A drainage survey uncovers hidden drainage issues that may not be apparent during a regular home inspection. It helps you make an informed decision and avoid potential future expenses.

Can't I rely solely on a standard home inspection?

While a standard home inspection is essential, it may not provide a detailed view of the drainage system’s condition. A drainage survey specialises in assessing drainage-specific concerns.

What is a drainage survey?

A drainage survey is a thorough assessment of a property’s drainage system to evaluate its condition, identify potential issues, and ensure optimal functionality. This survey involves techniques like visual inspections, CCTV technology, and mapping to provide a comprehensive understanding of the drainage system’s health.

How long does a drainage survey typically take?

The duration depends on the property’s size and complexity. Generally, a drainage survey can take a few hours to complete, ensuring a thorough assessment.
