Why Is a Drainage Survey Essential Before Buying?


A standard property survey often only provides a surface-level view of the drainage. What's happening underground, out of sight, is what really matters. A professional CCTV drainage survey can uncover hidden defects that could cost you thousands in repairs post-purchase.

Our drains surveys help identify:

  • Cracks, fractures, Displaced joints or even collapsed pipes from ground movement or old age.

  • Tree root ingress which is a very common and destructive problem in older pipes with clay, salt-glazed drains.

  • Blockages or built-up debris that slow drainage and create blockages.

  • Misconnections (where foul water is linked to surface water drainage, or vice versa), a significant legal and environmental issue that could potentially cost thousands.

  • Corrosion or joint failure in the system.

Identifying these problems early means you can negotiate repair costs with the seller or walk away from a property that hides major structural, costly future issues.


🔬 Our Comprehensive Drainage Survey Lancaster


JCS Drainage Lancaster uses state-of-the-art technology to provide a detailed, accurate assessment of your property's underground drain & pipework systems.



This is the cornerstone of our drain services. We insert a specialist CCTV drain camera into your drainage system, providing a live, high-resolution feed of the pipework. This allows our experienced CCTV drainage engineers to see the exact condition of your drains and sewers.

  • What you get: We provide you with a full detailed report, detailing the structural and service condition of the drainage, a site-plan/map of the drainage layout, and a copy of the CCTV footage sent direct from site.


2. Septic Tank Surveys and Compliance Reports


If the property isn't connected to the main sewer system and relies on a septic tank or sewage treatment plant, a dedicated survey is most critical. Non-compliant, poorly maintained, or damaged off-mains systems can lead to fines, pollution, and severe property damage.

  • Compliance Check: We assess the system's condition and ensure it meets the latest General Binding Rules and environmental regulations, giving you a clear report on any necessary upgrades or repairs.
