Survey types

Drainage surveys across West Yorkshire

Here are three common survey types, plus commercial surveys for business premises. Since you will act on the findings, ask for a written report you can keep and share. Our guide sets out what a good survey report should include.

For homes, businesses & new builds

CCTV Drain Surveys

A small camera goes through your drains to look for blockages, cracks, roots and collapsed pipes. Because the video shows each fault, ask for a copy along with the written report.

For homebuyers & conveyancers

Pre-Purchase Drain Surveys

Buying a house? Find out what is underground before you exchange. A survey can spot costly faults while you can still ask the seller about them.

For planning, disputes & maintenance

Drain Mapping & Tracing

Don't know where your drains run? A CCTV and tracing survey finds and maps the runs. That helps with extensions and planning, while a map also shows where a shared pipe goes.

Why a survey helps

Find the fault.
Fix it once.
No guesswork.

Send one request and we'll pass it on to a drainage engineer who covers your area. You then deal with the engineer on the price, the date and the report, since they carry out the survey. It also helps to know the next steps once the survey is done.

How it works

Ask for a written report

Ask the engineer for a written report and a copy of the video. That matters because you may want to share it with your solicitor, insurer or builder.

Form open 24/7

Since drain problems don't keep office hours, the request form stays open 24/7. If the drain has blocked up right now, mark your request urgent.

Get the price in writing

Ask for a written quote before any work starts. Check what it covers, for example the report and the video.

Check before you book

Ask the engineer for proof of insurance. It is a fair question for any trade who works on your property, however small the job.

A survey, not a sales pitch

A survey tells you what is wrong before you pay for a fix. For example, it can show tree roots getting into a pipe joint. Then you can get repair quotes with the report in hand.

Yorkshire Water boundary clarity

Not sure which pipes are yours? A survey with drain tracing shows where your drains end and the public sewer starts. Then you won't pay for a fix that is Yorkshire Water's job.

FAQ

Common questions answered

Can't find what you're looking for? Ask us directly.

How much does a CCTV drain survey cost in Leeds?
The price depends on the size of the home, how many drain runs there are and how easy they are to reach. Ask for a written quote before any work starts. Our cost guide sets out what affects the price.
How long does a CCTV drain survey take?
A survey of a typical house often takes an hour or two. Larger homes and complex drain runs take longer. Ask the engineer when your written report will be ready.
Do I need a CCTV drain survey before buying a house?
A standard building survey does not look inside the drains. A pre-purchase drain survey can show cracks, roots, collapsed pipes or blockages before you exchange. You can then ask the seller to fix them or use the report to negotiate.
What problems can a CCTV drain survey find?
A camera survey can show blockages, roots, cracks and fractures, and pipes that have moved at the joints. It can also show collapsed or deformed pipes and a build-up of fat and grease. Ask for a written report and a copy of the video.
Who is responsible for the drains — me or Yorkshire Water?
Since October 2011, most shared private sewers and lateral drains in England passed to the water companies, which here means Yorkshire Water. In general, you are responsible for drains that serve only your property, within your boundary. A survey with drain tracing can show where your drains end and the public sewer starts.
Can a blocked drain be cleared as well as surveyed?
This site takes requests for CCTV surveys and drain mapping. If the drain is blocked now, say so in your request and mark it urgent. Ask the engineer whether they can clear it or who they suggest.
Can I book a survey at the weekend?
The request form is open 24/7. Times on the day depend on the engineer who takes the job. Ask about the earliest available slot, including weekends.
What area do you cover?
We take requests from Leeds and towns within about 20 miles. That includes Bradford, Wakefield, Harrogate, Morley, Pudsey, Garforth, Wetherby, Otley, Ilkley, Castleford and Pontefract. See the full list of areas, or ask if your town is not listed.
Can I share the survey report with my solicitor or lender?
Yes, you can share it with anyone you choose. Ask for a report coded to the WRc MSCC5 standard, with the video and any advice on repairs. Your solicitor or lender will decide how to use it.
