PRE-PURCHASE DRAIN INSPECTIONS IN VICTORIA
Know the Condition of the Drainage Before You Buy

At Drainspex, we provide professional pre-purchase drain inspections to help buyers identify hidden drainage issues before committing to a property. Using high-definition CCTV drain cameras, we assess the internal condition of stormwater and sewer pipes and provide clear, easy-to-understand reports.

Drainage problems are often invisible from the surface but can lead to costly repairs if left undiscovered. A pre-purchase inspection gives you the confidence to make an informed decision and avoid unexpected expenses after settlement.

WHAT IS A PRE-PURCHASE DRAIN INSPECTION?

A pre-purchase drain inspection involves inserting a specialised waterproof camera into the property’s stormwater and sewer lines to visually assess their condition.

This allows us to identify issues such as:

  • Cracked or broken pipes

  • Collapsed or deformed sections

  • Root intrusions

  • Pipe separations and joint failures

  • Blockages and restrictions

  • Debris and sediment build-up

  • Incorrect installation or poor fall

This process is non-invasive and provides accurate diagnostics without digging.
