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.
