Drain Inspection
Blocked drains can be a real hassle for homeowners, landlords and tenants alike.
Whether you’re experiencing problems with your drains, or you want to make sure that everything’s in order before you buy, sell or invest, a drain inspection from a Safe2 approved professional will provide the answers you need to make informed decisions.
Drain inspection – what’s involved?
A drain inspection involves using specially designed CCTV camera which is inserted into your drain without the need for digging. It takes an in-depth look at your drainage system to identify any concerns there might be around how it functions now, or any potential issues that might cause problems in the future.
A drain survey will look for things like:
- Collapsed drains and structural damage.
- Wear and tear.
- Blockages and leaks.
- Tree roots that have entered the drainage system.
Avoid the drain blame game with Safe2
As a landlord or tenant, drainage problems can be a real headache – not least because it can be difficult to know who’s responsible when it comes to rectifying the problem.
From your point of view as a landlord, a blocked drain may be the result of the behaviour of your tenants. Flushing baby wipes down the toilet for example, or pouring greases and fats down the kitchen sink. On the other hand, your tenants are likely to feel that the drains are a fundamental part of the building, and therefore your responsibility as a landlord to maintain and repair.
If you’re getting ready to let your property, or it’s nearing the time for a property inspection, it’s worth considering a drain inspection survey to determine if there are any issues, damages or defects with your drain that you should know about.
