Is a CCTV Survey Required When Buying a New Home?

CCTV is a term largely reserved for the security industry – but here at London Drainage Facilities, we have a very different, albeit equally practical, use for CCTV cameras.

Using sophisticated software, our drainage CCTV turns even the biggest and most overwhelming jobs into a manageable action plan – complete with a formal write-up, site plan, and the footage from the survey which allows us to isolate, explore, and understand the extent of drainage problems, broken pipes, blockages, and other issues.

There’s no doubt that in the drainage industry, CCTV is key to helping big jobs become small problems – but is a CCTV survey necessary when buying a new home?

The Benefit Of A Cctv Survey For New Home Buyers

The number one benefit attributed to CCTV surveys is the way that they translate and allow us to understand the root cause of a drainage problem or blockage. Whether it’s dampness in the home, overgrown tree roots wreaking havoc on laid pipework, incorrect installation from past plumbing works, or blocks which are leading to drainage issues, CCTV surveys enable us to understand the cause of the issue and draw up an action plan for which is both time and cost-effective.

For those looking to buy a new home or property, this kind of survey provides the peace of mind that all your drainage and pipework is in good working order – isolating any potential issues and making you aware of necessary fixes before you sign your contract. It also lets you know the condition and location of all the pipework leading to and around the property – giving you insight into where any future extensions could go and highlighting any areas to be aware of when undertaking property or garden work.

Do I Need A Cctv Drainage Survey?

If you’re buying a new property, a CCTV drainage survey is one of the most important things you should do before committing to the purchase.

Once you’ve completed a CCTV survey, you can plan and build your future in the home of your dreams – safe in the knowledge that the property can and will support your daily needs.
