Surveys

How often should drains be surveyed?

Survey domestic drainage every five to ten years, and sooner if you have recurring blockages, mature trees near the run, clay pipework, or plan to extend or pave over a drain. Commercial premises with heavy loading should survey annually alongside planned jetting.

The point of periodic surveying is to catch deterioration while it is still linable. Root ingress found early is a patch; root ingress ignored for five years is a collapse.

Any property purchase is an automatic trigger, as is any recurring blockage pattern.

Keep the reports. A history of surveys is genuinely valuable evidence when selling or claiming.
