Questions
Pre-Purchase Drain Inspection FAQs
Common questions about pre-purchase drain inspection in Brisbane.
Why get a pre-purchase drain inspection?
Underground pipes and drains are invisible during a normal property inspection, yet repairs to blocked or collapsed lines can be very expensive. A CCTV drain inspection shows the real condition of the drainage before you buy, so you can make an informed decision — and negotiate or walk away if there's a serious problem.
What does the inspection involve?
We feed a CCTV drain camera through the property's stormwater and sewer lines and record the footage. We're looking for blockages, collapsed or cracked pipes, tree-root intrusion and misaligned joints. You then receive a clear, easy-to-understand report on what we found.
How is a pre-purchase inspection priced?
The inspection is quoted based on the property and the drainage lines to be checked. We give you a clear price upfront before booking, so you know exactly what's involved.
Who should get a drain inspection?
Home buyers wanting to avoid surprise repair bills after settlement, investors protecting a rental purchase, and anyone buying an older Queenslander home with ageing pipework all benefit. If you're putting in an offer, it's worth knowing what's underground first.
How quickly can you do the inspection?
We aim for a fast turnaround so the inspection fits within your contract or finance timeframe. Get in touch with your property details and we'll arrange a convenient time before your deadline.
What happens if you find a problem?
We'll show you the camera footage and explain what it means in plain language. You'll have a written report you can use to negotiate the price with the seller, request repairs, or reconsider the purchase — giving you real bargaining power.
