Before committing to a new property purchase, make sure everything is in working order with a home buyers drainage survey

Drainage Systems for Non-Mains Connected Properties

Are you considering buying a new home with an independent sewage and drainage system? At Proseptic, we know how daunting it can be to move from a mains-connected area to a property which comes with the added responsibility of a sewage treatment system. But we are here to reassure you that the home of your dreams should not be turned down solely due to being an effluent-independent property.

Home buyers looking at properties which are not connected to a mains sewage system may feel overwhelmed with the responsibility it brings. At Proseptic, we aim to reduce the anxiety that comes with purchasing an independently-maintained property and ensure that the drainage and sewage systems are installed correctly, in the condition described by the seller and ready for you to move in to your new home without worry.

Our main aim is to ensure that independent effluent management is not a reason for new home buyers to turn down their dream property.

The Importance of Home Buyers Drainage Surveys

Buying a new home is stressful enough, without worrying about the condition of the property’s drainage and effluent systems. New home buyers should be able to move straight into a property which claims to have a fully working drainage systems which is in good condition.

Most property buyers are not qualified or experienced in drainage systems and may be unaware of potential issues or symptoms of problems, damage or blockages. The home buyers survey offered by Proseptic gives a detailed breakdown of the condition of the property’s drainage components, as well as reporting on the signs of potential issues which may require improvements or replacement in the future.

The home buyers survey checks that the drainage and sewage systems are in the condition the seller’s claim them to be. This includes checking all sewage treatment systems, pipework and drainage outlets to put new buyers minds at rest and to offer the opportunity to dispute any conditional descriptions which may be untrue or deceptive.
