Protect Your Investment with a Professional Drain Survey

Buying a home is a major investment, and many buyers overlook a crucial part of the process: the drainage system. A homebuyer drain survey identifies hidden problems such as blockages, leaks, or structural damage, helping you avoid costly repairs after moving in.

Mega-Rod, a trusted local drainage company based in Bath, specialises in homebuyer drain surveys, providing you with clear, detailed reports to make informed decisions and safeguard your investment.

Why a Homebuyer’s Drain Survey Is Essential

A homebuyer’s drain survey is more than just a routine check—it’s a proactive step in your due diligence. Many drainage issues remain hidden during standard property inspections, but a professional survey uncovers potential problems early, including:

• Blockages and slow drainage
• Leaks and pipe damage
• Collapsed or misaligned drains
• Tree root intrusion
• General wear and tear of underground pipes

By identifying these issues beforehand, you gain peace of mind and the ability to negotiate repairs or price adjustments before finalising your purchase.
