Our Specialist Surveying Services
We offer a full suite of inspection services tailored to the specific needs of Leeds’ historic and modern infrastructure.
1. Home Buyer Drain Surveys (Pre-Purchase)
- The Service: A vital "due diligence" check for anyone purchasing a property in Leeds, Harrogate, or Wetherby.
- Why You Need It: Standard RICS home surveys often overlook underground drainage. We identify hidden issues like root ingress or collapsed pipes before you exchange contracts, potentially saving you thousands in post-sale repairs.
- The Deliverable: A comprehensive, WRC-validated technical report and HD video footage suitable for mortgage lenders and insurers.
2. Commercial Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM)
- The Service: Scheduled inspections for high-traffic sites, including retail parks, hospitals, and industrial estates.
- Why You Need It: Regular CCTV monitoring identifies minor defects—such as fat build-up or small fractures—before they escalate into expensive emergency floods or operational downtime.
- The Deliverable: Data-driven maintenance schedules that help you manage your facility's budget effectively and remain compliant with environmental regulations.
3. Structural Drain & Sewer Surveys
- The Service: High-detail inspections focused on the physical integrity of your pipework.
- Why You Need It: Ideal for identifying subsidence risks, major fractures, or "Build Over" agreement requirements for new extensions. We use robotic crawlers to navigate large-diameter sewers and hard-to-reach industrial lines.
- The Deliverable: Precise defect coding to BS EN 13508 standards, including recommendations for "No-Dig" repairs like structural relining.
4. System Mapping & Asset Tracing
- The Service: Creating a digital blueprint of your underground network.
- Why You Need It: Essential for architects and developers in Bradford or Wakefield who need to know exactly where pipes run before breaking ground.
- The Deliverable: Comprehensive site plans detailing drainage routes, depths, and connection points.
Common Issues Our Cameras Detect
- Root Ingress: Tree roots seeking moisture can penetrate pipe joints, causing severe blockages and structural cracks.
- Fractures & Collapses: Identifying structural weaknesses caused by ground movement or aging Victorian brickwork.
- Displaced Joints: Pipes that have shifted out of alignment, leading to leaks and potential subsidence.
- Debris & Scaling: Hardened mineral deposits or "fatbergs" that restrict flow and cause recurring backups.
