About This Service

A homebuyer drainage survey is a CCTV inspection of the drains at the property you're buying, with a written report you can share with your conveyancer. CDNW carries these out across Manchester and Warrington so buyers know what they're taking on before they exchange. Every survey includes a written report with footage. If repair work is needed, we quote from the report.

Common Questions

What does a homebuyer drainage survey involve?

An engineer visits with a camera unit and pushes it through the drains from an access point. The camera records footage of the inside of the pipe. You receive a written report with the footage and a summary of any defects found — cracks, root intrusion, collapsed sections, or build-up — which you can pass to your conveyancer. If repair work is needed, we quote from the report.

How much does a homebuyer drainage survey cost in Manchester or Warrington?

Surveys start from £140. The price depends on the size of the property and number of access points needed. CDNW always confirms the price before the visit — no hidden charges, no call-out fee. Call 07393 576591 or request a callback to get a quote.
