Problems with drains in rental properties tend to surface at the worst possible time. Our Drain surveys in rental properties enable you to discover problems with your drains prior to them becoming expensive problems to put right.
Shared Drain Responsibility
A drain survey creates a map of your drain and shows where it runs in relation to your neighbouring properties. It highlights whether your drain runs across your neighbour’s land or whether you share a sewer. This information is crucial when it comes to agreeing who is to pay for repairs to a drain, particularly in cases where the drain runs through the walls of a property in a terraced street or in a converted property where the route of the drain is not obvious.
Recurring Blockages From Tenants
When a drain blockage is reported by tenants for the third time in as many months, a CCTV drain survey will reveal whether there is a more serious structural problem, such as a sag in the pipe, root intrusion or joint collapse, or merely a build up of waste which could be cleared with a single jetting of the drain.
