Home Movers Drainage Surveys

Buying a new home is one of the biggest investments you’ll ever make, and ensuring the drainage system is in good condition is a crucial part of protecting that investment. Our Home Movers Drainage Surveys are designed primarily for mains-connected properties, giving you a clear picture of the condition, performance, and compliance of the drainage before you commit to purchase. Using advanced inspection techniques, we identify defects, blockages, and structural issues that could lead to costly repairs, providing you with the evidence you need to make informed decisions and, if necessary, negotiate on price or request remedial work before completion. For properties with septic tanks, treatment plants, or cesspits, we recommend booking a Tank Compliance Survey – Septic Tank Survey instead, to ensure your off-mains system meets all legal and environmental requirements.

What Our Clients Say

“Booking a Home Movers Drainage Survey was the best decision we made before buying. The team found a collapsed section of pipe that would have cost thousands to fix. We were able to have it repaired by the seller before completion, saving us a huge headache and expense. I wouldn’t buy another property without doing this first.”

“A friend recommended Anglian Septics when we were buying our new home, and I’m so glad they did. The survey gave us peace of mind and even picked up a hidden blockage we’d never have known about. The report was clear, detailed, and helped us negotiate a better deal. Fantastic service from start to finish.”

1. What is a Home Movers Drainage Survey?

A Home Movers Drainage Survey is a professional inspection of a property’s drainage system, designed to identify defects, blockages, and compliance issues before you complete your purchase. It’s aimed at mains-connected homes, but for properties with septic tanks, treatment plants, or cesspits, we recommend a Tank Compliance Survey instead.

Why should I have one before buying a house?

Hidden drainage problems can cost thousands to fix. A survey gives you a clear picture of the system’s condition, helping you make informed decisions and potentially negotiate repairs or a price reduction before you exchange contracts.

What does the survey involve?

Our engineers use CCTV drainage inspection equipment to examine the internal condition of the pipework, looking for cracks, collapses, root ingress, or blockages. We then produce a detailed report with findings, images, and recommendations.

How long does it take?

Most Home Movers Drainage Surveys take between 1–2 hours depending on the property size and drainage complexity. We can usually schedule them quickly to fit with your property purchase timeline.

Will I get a report to share with my solicitor?

Yes. You’ll receive a comprehensive, easy-to-read report that can be passed to your solicitor or used as part of your property purchase negotiations.
