Stop hidden drainage disasters before you buy

Buying a home in Royston is likely the biggest investment you will ever make. You have probably already had a surveyor look at the roof, the walls, and the windows, but what about the bits you can't see? A standard RICS building survey usually stops at the ground level, leaving the underground pipework a complete mystery. At Roberts Drainage Ltd, we have seen far too many new homeowners move in, only to find their dream home comes with a nightmare repair bill because of a collapsed drain or a root-infested pipe they knew nothing about.

Professional Homebuyer Surveys

Why Choose Our Expert Homebuyer Drain Surveys in Soham & Cambridgeshire?

See exactly what is happening underground

Why take a gamble on your bank balance when you can see the truth with your own eyes? Our CCTV drain surveys use high-definition, remote-controlled cameras to travel through the system without us having to lift a single paving slab. Whether you are looking at a charming Victorian terrace near the Royston town centre or a modern build out towards Melbourn, we can spot cracks, blockages, or displaced joints with pinpoint accuracy. It is a non-invasive way to get total peace of mind before you sign on the dotted line.

Built for Royston's unique ground conditions

If you have lived in North Hertfordshire for a while, you will know the ground can be a bit temperamental. The clay-heavy soil around Royston and the surrounding villages like Buntingford and Barkway is prone to shifting. This ground movement often puts pressure on older clay pipes, leading to cracks or 'steps' in the joints where waste gets caught. We also find that the mature trees in our local leafy suburbs love to send their roots straight into pipe joints in search of water. Our expert team knows exactly what to look for in this neck of the woods.

Reports that satisfy lenders and solicitors

When you are in the middle of a property transaction, the last thing you need is vague advice. We provide a comprehensive, easy-to-read technical report alongside the digital footage of the survey. These documents meet the strict standards required by mortgage lenders, insurers, and solicitors. If we do find a problem, we won't just leave you worrying; we will provide a clear, itemised quote for any necessary remedial works. This can be an incredibly powerful tool for price negotiations if the vendor hasn't been keeping up with their maintenance.

FAQ

Homebuyer Drain Survey FAQ

Find answers to common questions about our professional pre-purchase drainage inspections and CCTV surveys in Soham and throughout Cambridgeshire,East Anglia, Essex, London and Kent

Moving to Soham? Here is why you need a homebuyer drain survey

Buying a house is a huge investment, and the last thing you want is a massive repair bill just after you move in. A homebuyer drain survey in Soham is the only way to know the true condition of what is under the ground. Most standard home surveys don't look at the drains, so you could be buying a property with a collapsed pipe or a massive root infestation without knowing it. We use a CCTV camera survey to check every inch of the system. This gives you a clear drain condition report that can help you negotiate the price if repairs are needed, or simply give you the peace of mind that everything is working as it should.

What will the CCTV drain survey in Soham actually find?

Our property drainage inspection in Cambridgeshire looks for everything that could cause you trouble later on. We look for structural drain defects like fractures, displaced joints where the pipes have moved apart, and signs of subsidence. We also check for blockages caused by debris or fat build-up. One of the most common things we find in Soham properties is root intrusion, where trees have pushed their way into the pipe joints looking for water. Our report will show you exactly what is there, where it is, and what needs to be done to fix it.

How does a pre-purchase drain survey protect your investment?

A pre-purchase drain survey acts as an insurance policy for your peace of mind. If our East Cambridgeshire drainage experts find a serious issue, you can ask the current owner to fix it before the sale goes through. Alternatively, you can use our detailed report to get a quote for the repairs and ask for that amount to be knocked off the house price. It's much better to find these things out while you can still talk about the price, rather than six months after you have moved in when the kitchen sink stops draining.
