What Our Comprehensive Drainage Reports Include

Our drainage reports are built on thorough CCTV drain surveys, giving you an in-depth look at the condition of the underground pipework. Every report we provide includes detailed findings from our advanced camera inspections. You'll get clear observations on the integrity of the pipes, highlighting any cracks, collapses, root ingress from nearby trees, or areas of scale buildup common in Exeter's water. We also provide full Wincan reports, which are industry-standard, professional documents, complete with site plans, pipe mapping, and video footage. This level of detail helps pinpoint specific issues and offers a clear path for any necessary repairs or maintenance. We assess both foul and surface water drainage systems, making sure nothing is left to chance.

Beyond Home Buying: Other Reasons for a Professional Drain Report

While pre-purchase drain inspections are a major part of our work across Exeter and areas like Topsham or Crediton, our drainage reports serve many other vital purposes. Perhaps you're planning an extension and need a 'build-over' survey to ensure your proposed building work won't impact existing drains. Maybe you're a business on Sowton industrial estate experiencing recurrent blockages, and you need to identify the root cause – a detailed report can highlight issues like fatbergs or structural damage. We also conduct surveys to investigate rodent ingress into properties, identifying precisely where these unwelcome visitors are entering through the drainage system. For new builds in areas like Cranbrook or Cullompton, our reports can verify compliance with building regulations before final sign-off.

Our Advanced CCTV Technology for Accurate Reporting

At Drain 2 Flow Exeter, we use cutting-edge CCTV camera technology to carry out our drain surveys. Our specialist cameras can navigate even narrow pipes, providing high-resolution video footage of every inch of your drainage system. This allows us to accurately identify and assess issues that are impossible to spot from above ground. From pitch fibre pipe issues in older Exeter properties to collapsed clay drains, our technology reveals the true condition. We can map the layout of your drainage system, trace specific lines, and even locate lost manholes, providing you with a complete and accurate understanding of your underground network. This precision is what makes our drainage reports so reliable and valuable.

Drainage Report & Survey FAQs

Here are some of the most common questions we get asked about our CCTV drain surveys and pre-purchase reports for properties in Clyst Heath, Exeter, and the surrounding Devon area.

Why do I need a drainage survey before buying a house in Exeter?

+

Standard building surveyors rarely lift manhole covers, and they certainly cannot see deep inside the pipework. A specialist CCTV survey is the only reliable way to confirm the underground drains run freely and contain no hidden structural defects.

What is included in a Wincan report?

+

A Wincan report is a highly detailed, professional document. It features a complete log of your drainage layout, timestamped photos of any defects, video footage of the inspection, and a professional recommendation for any necessary fixes. Mortgage lenders and insurance companies widely accept these reports.

Will the survey pick up tree root ingress?

+

Yes. Tree roots naturally seek out moisture and often force their way through tiny cracks in pipe joints. Our high-definition cameras easily spot root masses inside the drain. If we find them, we can cut them out using specialist electro-mechanical cleaning tools.

How long does a CCTV drain inspection take?

+

For a standard three-bedroom house in Clyst Heath or Pinhoe, a full drain mapping survey usually takes around two hours on-site. The exact time depends on the size of the property and how easy it is to access the inspection chambers.

Do you share these reports with mortgage lenders?

+

We supply the digital report directly to you. You can then easily forward the PDF document to your solicitor, mortgage lender, or building surveyor as evidence of the property's drainage condition.
