Why might someone in Maidstone need a drainage survey?

Buying a new home

CCTV drain surveys are one of the most important things anyone in Maidstone should do before buying their new home.

Building an extension

A pre-build survey can show the location and condition of drains running under or close to any proposed building work.

Problems with rats

Rats can squeeze through a hole the size of a 50p piece. A cctv drain survey can identify any cracks and defects.

Surface flooding

A cctv drain survey can identify the underlying reasons for surface water flooding into your Maidstone property.

Subsidence

Leaking or broken drains under your property can lead to subsidence. A drain camera survey can identify any defects.

Persistent problems

If your drains keep reblocking or those horrible drain smells don't go away, it might be time for a cctv drain survey.

Pre-purchase drain surveys for Maidstone homebuyers

Drain surveys are one of the most important things to do before buying your new home.

Unfortunately, some Maidstone homebuyers only find out their drains have structural defects once they've moved in and then have to pay lots of money for drain repairs.

A pre-purchase drain survey can spot any potential problems before they appear, giving the buyer, the opportunity to negotiate with the seller or even pull out of the purchase.

To book a homebuyer drain survey, call 01622 410 398 or email our Maidstone office.

What if you don't need the full survey report?

The engineer can show you the footage on site and highlight any issues as he does the survey. This is cheaper and quicker for those who do not require the footage or a full written report, however, will not be adequate for insurance purposes.

Build over drain surveys in Maidstone

If you are building a conservatory or any other extension to your home, the local water authority in Maidstone will need to know, to ensure access to drains is not restricted.

Your local water authority will be able to tell you where the main sewers run. They will need to know the location, condition, depth and size of all drainage within 3m of the proposed extension. A build over drain survey will give you all the information you need.

Could a drain survey help solve your rat problem?

Over 90% of rat problems within homes in Maidstone and across the UK are because of faulty and defective drainage systems. So if you are hearing rat noises in ceilings, walls and under the floor and the normal rat control methods aren't working, we can help.

Rats can enter through displaced drains, broken or cracked pipes and redundant drains.

Our engineers in Maidstone use the latest drain survey equipment, to identify any faults and defects, that would allow rats to escape from the sewers and into your home.
