Case Study: Drain Survey for Homebuyer in Bideford
We were recently contacted by a client preparing to purchase a property in Bideford. During their conveyancing checks, they were informed that a water authority main sewer ran beneath the property.
Because underground drainage can have serious implications for a purchase, the client asked Flux Sewer to carry out a detailed CCTV drain survey. Our team inspected both the private drainage system and the water authority sewers to check the condition, identify any defects, and ensure there were no hidden issues.
As part of the service, we also provided a comprehensive drainage plan showing the layout and depths of all sewer runs. This was added to the homeowner’s records for future reference. Impressively, the full survey was completed within a single morning shift.
In addition to the technical work, we were available on-site to answer all of the client’s questions about the drainage system. This gave the potential buyer complete confidence in moving forward with the purchase, knowing they were making the right decision without unexpected surprises.
Drain Plan
A site plan on a drain survey is one of the most valuable deliverables for a property buyer, homeowner, or developer. It visually shows how the drainage system is laid out across the site and records important details for future reference.
Photo Evidence in Your Drain Report
Alongside the coded inspection log, we include high-quality photographs taken directly from the CCTV footage. These images are inserted into the report for:
-
Quick Reference – Defects are shown visually with the exact distance along the pipe.
-
Clear Understanding – You don’t need to interpret codes alone; the images make issues obvious.
-
Transparency – Every recommendation is backed up by visible evidence.
-
Decision-Making – Helps you (and contractors) see whether a defect needs immediate rectification or future monitoring.
The Report
A coded drain report is the professional, standardized version of a CCTV drain survey report, usually written in line with the WRc MSCC5 (Manual of Sewer Condition Classification) standards. It transforms what the camera sees underground into a structured, easy-to-reference document that can be used by homebuyers, contractors, insurers, and water authorities.
