Buying a home in Ormskirk or across West Lancashire is likely the biggest purchase you’ll ever make. While a standard building survey looks at the walls and roof, it usually ignores what’s happening underground. Our NADC certified team carries out a thorough homebuyer drainage survey to spot cracked pipes, collapses, or blockages before they become your problem. This gives you the evidence you need to negotiate on price or ask the seller to fix the issues before you move in. It's a simple step that prevents expensive repairs from landing on your doorstep after you've swapped keys.

We use specialised, high-definition cameras that we feed directly into your drainage system. This allows our team to see every inch of the pipework on a monitor in real-time. It’s a completely non-invasive way to handle fault finding. We don’t need to dig up your lawn or driveway just to see what’s wrong. Whether it’s a simple blockage or a more serious structural issue, the camera finds it quickly. You get a clear view of the inside of your drains without any mess or disruption to your day.

Yes, this is one of the most common things we find in Lancashire gardens. Tree roots are incredibly good at finding tiny gaps in pipe joints as they look for moisture. Once inside, they grow quickly and cause major blockages or even burst the pipes. Our drain camera survey identifies exactly where the roots have entered. From there, we can suggest the right drainage solutions, such as root cutting or no-dig relining, to get things flowing again.

If you’re planning to build over or near a public sewer in West Lancashire, the local water authority usually insists on a CCTV drain survey. They want to see the condition of the pipes before you start work and again once you’ve finished to make sure no damage occurred. We provide the professional footage and reports required for these applications. We also offer drain mapping, which gives your architect the exact location and depth of the pipes so they can plan your foundations accurately and avoid any costly mistakes during construction.

Once our engineers complete the inspection, we don't leave you with a list of jargon. You’ll receive a detailed report that explains the condition of your drainage system in plain English. We include the video footage so you can see the findings for yourself. If we find any problems, we’ll provide a clear, upfront quote for any necessary repairs. Our goal is to give you a complete picture of your property's health so you can make informed decisions without any guesswork.
