Why Choose Us?

Don't Inherit a Drainage Nightmare Under Your New Dorset Home

Most traditional RICS building surveys only look at the stuff you can see. They might flush a toilet or run a tap, but they won't tell you if a tree root has cracked a pipe or if the main sewer line is about to collapse. That’s where we come in. Think of a CCTV drain survey as your financial shield. If we find a problem now, you can ask the current owner to fix it or negotiate the repair costs off the sale price. It’s all about peace of mind and protecting your hard-earned deposit.

Who We Are

Why Swanage Properties Need a Closer Look

Swanage has a unique mix of property types, from Victorian terraces to post-war builds and brand-new developments. Each comes with its own quirks. Older properties in the BH19 area often feature clay pipes that are prone to root ingress from Dorset’s lush gardens, or misaligned joints caused by decades of ground movement. Even newer homes aren't immune—we often find construction debris or poorly installed lateral drains. Our local engineers understand the geology of the Purbeck area, from the limestone beneath our feet to the challenges of coastal salt-air, ensuring we provide the most accurate assessment possible.

High-Definition CCTV Inspections: Seeing the Unseen

We don't just 'have a look'—we use the latest high-definition push-rod cameras to travel deep into your potential new drainage system. This non-invasive technology allows us to inspect every centimetre of the pipework without moving a single paving slab. We’ll look for structural pipe integrity, stubborn blockages, and signs of 'pitch fibre' pipes (a common headache in some 1960s Dorset builds). You’ll receive a crystal-clear video feed and a detailed PDF report that explains exactly what we’ve found in plain English—no confusing jargon, just honest facts.

Satisfy Your Mortgage Lender with a Detailed Drainage Report

These days, many mortgage lenders and insurance providers in Dorset actually insist on a professional CCTV drain survey before they’ll approve a loan. They want to know the asset they’re lending against is structurally sound. Our reports are designed to meet these professional standards. We provide a full mapping of the system, identifying any shared 'lateral' drains and ensuring everything complies with Building Regulations Part H. If you're planning an extension later, this mapping is also essential for any Wessex Water build-over agreements.
