CCTV drain surveys in Manchester: Homeowners vs renters

If you’re a homeowner:

• You’re usually responsible for the drainage system within your property boundary. That includes arranging (and paying for) a CCTV drainage survey if you suspect a problem. If you’re buying a home, a drain camera inspection can reveal hidden issues before you commit.

• Ask your drainage company if they provide a report for mortgage or legal purposes.

• Keep records of surveys for any future disputes or planning work.

If you’re a renter:

• Responsibility for blocked drains or broken pipework often sits with your landlord – but not always. If the issue was caused by misuse, you might need to pay.

• Report problems to your landlord or letting agent first. They may arrange a drainage CCTV survey or ask you to.

• You can still use Checkatrade to find a verified company for a second opinion or if you’re asked to get quotes.
