Do I Really Need A Pre-Purchase Compliance Survey?

Yes, since the General Binding Rules were introduced in 2015 to regulate small sewage discharges, a septic tank survey or drainage survey has become essential, especially for prospective home buyers and home sellers. These regulations ensure that septic tanks and similar systems comply with environmental standards to avoid pollution risks, and many homebuyers have become aware of the potential financial and legal implications of non-compliant systems.

Fantastic service, called late evening, engineer available first thing the next day (we didn’t need the emergency service). Sorted out our kitchen drain very quickly and we are back up and running. Would recommend to anyone with drain troubles.

WHAT OUR SEPTIC TANK COMPLIANCE SURVEY COVERS

  1. Full System Health Check
    We thoroughly examine everything from pipes to sewer connections, looking for damage, blockages, or any signs of wear. With all parts checked, you get a clear picture of the system’s overall condition.

  2. Compliance with Regulations
    We verify that your drainage setup follows local and national standards. This includes checking proper installation and ensuring it meets safety and environmental regulations, so you won’t run into surprises.

  3. Capacity Review
    A drainage system needs to handle the property’s rainwater and wastewater efficiently. We assess if the system has the capacity it needs or if there’s any risk of overflow or back-up that could lead to future problems.

  4. Structural Integrity
    Beyond functionality, we make sure everything is built to last. We inspect manholes, access points, and all critical components for strength and stability to avoid structural issues down the road.

  5. Detailed Reports and Recommendations 
    After our survey, you’ll get a clear, easy-to-understand but detailed report. It includes photos, diagrams, and practical advice for any repairs or upgrades to keep your drainage system compliant and efficient.
