Pre-Build CCTV Drain Survey

When building on or around existing drainage systems, you are at high risk of system damage which could lead to major issues, if done incorrectly. A pre-build CCTV survey is conducted before and after building work is completed to highlight and eliminate all potential risk. When planning an extension on an existing property, it is important to be aware that the local water authority will insist a CCTV drainage survey is conducted if any of the building work is due to take place over or near their drain pipes.

Do you really need a pre-build survey?
When thinking about building a conservatory, garage or any other extension, the local water authority will insist on knowing about what you are planning. Since October 2011, legislation has been in place to ensure that their access to drains is not impacted and that work being completed will not affect their current drainage infrastructure.
A pre-build CCTV survey will help the property owner to comply with the local authority requirements and establish the location, condition, depth and size of all drainage.
What is included in a Pre-build survey?

You will have your own reasons for booking our pre-build survey. However, our surveys help improve decision making ahead of the building work commencing, providing an insight into the location of the whole drainage system on the property which might come into play ahead of construction work.
