Common Questions from Biddulph Homebuyers

<p><strong>Why doesn't my regular building surveyor do this?</strong><br>A standard building survey usually only covers the visible structure. Drains are hidden, and most surveyors don't have the specialised <strong>CCTV drain reporting</strong> gear to see what’s going on 10 feet underground. <br><br><strong>Is it worth the money for a new build?</strong><br>Actually, yes. We often find construction debris, like bricks or hardened cement, left in the pipes of brand-new homes. It's much easier to get the developer to fix it before you've moved all your furniture in!</p>

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about our homebuyer drain surveys and CCTV inspections in Cheshire.

What exactly is a homebuyer drain survey in Macclesfield and do I need one?

+

When you buy a house, a standard building survey usually only looks at what’s above ground. A homebuyer drain survey uses a camera to look at the pipes you can't see. In Macclesfield, where many houses are older, this is a smart move. It spots things like root damage or cracked joints before you sign the contract, potentially saving you thousands in repair costs later on.

How much does a pre-purchase drain survey cost in the Cheshire area?

+

The drainage survey cost depends on the size of the property and how much of the system we need to check. We always provide a fixed, upfront price. Compared to the cost of fixing a collapsed drain after you’ve moved in, it’s a very small investment for peace of mind.

What will a CCTV drainage inspection show me?

+

Our CCTV camera travels through the pipes and sends a live feed back to a monitor. We look for blockages, signs of subsidence, displaced joints, and cracks. At the end, you’ll get a clear report and the footage. This is perfect for showing a seller if repairs are needed or for your insurance company.

Will a CCTV sewer inspection in Macclesfield satisfy my mortgage lender?

+

Yes, many lenders and insurance companies now ask for a professional drainage survey, especially on older properties or houses that have been extended. Our reports are detailed and meet the standards required by professionals in the property industry.

Why should I choose I Dig Drains and Watermains for my property survey?

+

We don't just give you a video; we give you expert advice. If we find a problem during the drain camera inspection, we can tell you exactly how to fix it and what it should cost. Being local to Cheshire, we can usually get to the property quickly so we don't hold up your house sale.
