What is a homebuyer drain and septic tank survey?

If you’re currently searching for your first or next home and you’re wondering what surveys to complete on your favourite home, a homebuyer drain or septic tank survey could be a great choice.

What a homebuyer and septic tank survey covers:

Drain Survey:

Uses CCTV technology to inspect the drainage system for blockages, leaks, or structural issues
Identifies problems like tree root intrusion, pipe corrosion, or misaligned joints

Septic Tank Survey:

Evaluates the septic tank’s condition, including its capacity and functionality
Checks for signs of malfunction, such as leaks or improper drainage, which could lead to costly repairs

We recommend a homebuyer drain/septic tank survey for anyone buying a home. The survey provides a view into the drainage system that you otherwise wouldn’t be able to see, uncovering any unwelcome issues that normally go unnoticed.

It gives you ultimate peace of mind that the drainage system and septic tank are in good working order before buying any property.
