When choosing to build on or around an existing drainage systems, there is a high risk of system damage. This can cause huge problems in the near future if done incorrectly and without any prior insight on the system currently in place. A pre-build CCTV survey can highlight any current defects within the drainage system, locate pipes and inspection points, and provide you with the required information to ensure your build does not affect the drainage system of the property or site.
Do you really need a pre-build survey?
When thinking about building a conservatory, garage or any other extension, the local water authority will insist on knowing about what you are planning. Since October 2011, legislation has been in place to ensure that their access to drains is not impacted and that work being completed will not affect their current drainage infrastructure.
A pre-build CCTV survey will help the property owner to comply with the local authority requirements and establish the location, condition, depth and size of all drainage.
