Hello,
Need some help, Were due to sign contracts monday, We just had our Surveyor inspect the house yesterday and all came back good with the exception of one thing, He has suggested getting Dyno-Rod (or similar type company) out for a CCTV inspection of the drainage, I've not been able to get hold of him yet to ask him why this is required. I just got the report a couple of hours ago,
I've not purchased many houses so I'm not sure if this is normal or if most people would get this done anyway, I had not planned nor even considered getting it done until now.
Any help or feedback you can give would be greatly appreciated.
Here is a copy of what the surveyors report said
" The drains are generally PVC and run to the back of the house. There is an AJ outside the back door, but this does not provide adequate access for inspection and cleaning and some upgrading is required here. From here, they run to an outfall manhole near the rear boundary of the site. I do not know where they run from there.
They appeared to be clean and in good working order but as they have not been used for some considerable time, they should be thoroughly flushed through, prior to use.
Ideally, the client should have the drain examined by CCTV and a condition survey be prepared (By “Dynorod” or similar). If serious flaws are found outside the boundary of this site, I advise that the client “walk away”.
"
Many Thanks
