There are a handful of typical reasons behind why a CCTV drain survey from Metro Rod Manchester and Macclesfield will benefit you or your business:

Homebuyer’s Survey

Buying your first home, or moving house is always a costly affair, and could even be the single biggest financial decision you’ll ever have to make. Damaged drains in domestic properties are often caused by old age, or tree roots naturally growing into them. These are a major cause of blockages, which can cause water to leak into the surrounding soil. If not diagnosed and treated at an early stage, it can lead to collapsed drains or subsidence. By having Metro Rod Manchester and Macclesfield undertake a CCTV drain survey at your property, you minimise the risk of having to fork out unnecessary and extremely costly expenditure of drain replacement, or in worse cases, structural amendments to the foundations of your property.

Vendor

In contrast, if you are selling your property, the last thing you will want is any delays caused by damaged drains. This can lead to you potentially having to sell your property at a lower price, or worst case scenario, the buyer may withdraw their offer. Metro Rod Manchester’s CCTV drain surveys will highlight what needs to be done with regards to keeping your property’s drains in the best condition for the housing handover.

Purchaser

CCTV drain surveys are now something that mortgage lenders, insurers and surveyors will insist on if your new home is over a certain age. It is also common for insurers to refuse to payout for inherited problems that you may encounter at a new property, should the previous owner not have had a CCTV drain survey taken out before the handover. By having one, you can save yourself a lot of money in the long run.

Build-Over Survey

If you’re wanting to build an extension on your property, such as a conservatory, the local water authority will insist that you have a CCTV drain survey undertaken if you are building near to or over their assets. This is to ensure that no damage is caused during the building process, but also identifies defects and allows for repairs to be made either prior to or during the building process.

Large Diameter Surveys

Metro Rod Manchester and Macclesfield has a variety of CCTV drain survey units, allowing us to survey drainage systems of all sizes. For larger sites, we use a crawler unit with the camera system attached to it, which is remotely controlled by one of our expert engineers, and offers a panoramic view of the condition of your drains. All of our surveys are carried out to the latest industry standard.
