Home Buyers Caterham Drainage Surveys & investigations, what’s the point?
It would seem eminently sensible that you understand what you are legally responsible for and are the drains in a perfectly serviceable condition at the very least understand you may be inheriting an expensive problem.
Most sellers in Caterham and around Surrey don’t actually know they have a problem, vendors sometimes think it's normal that blockages happen every month or so, or smelly is the new normal even that the Caterham drains run slow cause they do’, well actually no, those symptoms point to a failure of one kind or another. Your Caterham surveyor may have even found a crack, drain defects never get better and common sense would suggest more expensive to fix. We even note any illegal connections, that’s the point!

DrainChecker: Changing the perception of drainage for the better...

Blocked drain
"Fantastic, prompt service, our engineer was extremely thorough and very friendly. Would highly recommend! Thanks."
Unlocking of sewage drains
"Turned up when stated, gave a courtesy call to let me know they would be here within half an hour. Completed work with no fuss. Came through the house to check back drain to ensure job done, took shoes off without being asked. Quick, professional, friendly and polite. Also a HUGE positive they charge a set fee for the job regardless of time completed rather than those that charge per half hour."
INitially cleared blockage but found root mass in the sewer so cleared that as well
"Not used this company before but when I was unable to clear a blockage in my sewer line I gave them a call. They were responsive and the engineer just got to work, identified where the sewer ran then blasted it clear. The sewer was running again within 15 mins. The knowledgeable engineer said he believed there were roots in the sewer as he could "feel" them. A camera run showed the root mass and where located. He blasted the roots from the inside then found that the majority were ingressing through the side of the sump on one of the manholes so cleared those too. Highly recommend this company"
Quickest and easiest unblocking i've seen!
"After so many expensive quotes from other companies regarding a clogged drain outside our kitchen window - Happy Drains answered our questions on Checkatrade and gave us a set quote - After talking to them on the phone, the team were kind, honest and fully transparent about how the day would go - One of their team members (unfortunately didn't get his name) came over, took one look at the drain, unblocked it and was on his merry way! Will definitely be recommending this company to friends and family!! Thank you so much team!"
