There is no doubt that a functioning drainage system is vital to maintaining a pleasant and healthy home. That means that any problems with your drains need to be swiftly identified and repaired, and this can only be done if you are monitoring the system properly.
Advantages of Regular Drain Checks
Early Detection
The earlier you find a problem, the easier it is to fix. You can save both time and money by identifying minor faults before they have the opportunity to become worse and potentially prevent the drain from working at all. Drain lining Bracknell, such as that available from drainpower.co.uk/drainage-services/drain-lining/bracknell , is one potential solution that does not require the complete replacement of the drainage system.
Comprehensive and Effective
Using a qualified and experienced drain inspector means that you will receive a more comprehensive evaluation of your drains’ overall condition, including any problems and potential solutions. CCTV is used to fully inspect the interior of the drainage system so that even the tiniest crack can be found.
Increase Property Value
When an assessor evaluates your home, the effectiveness of its drainage system will be considered. A good drainage system will allow you to achieve the maximum price, whilst a faulty one may need to be repaired before you can make a successful sale. Building regulations include minimum standards for drainage. Regular inspections ensure that if you do decide to put your house on the market, the drains will be ready.
Home Inspector v. Drain Inspector
A home inspector will perform a brief check of the plumbing as part of their wider duties, but will only cover the basics: running taps, flushing toilets and emptying drains. For a more comprehensive evaluation, a drain inspector will assess every fixture, supply line, trap, valve, filtration system, venting system, water tank, water heater, shut-off valve and sump pump, whether visible or internal.
Full and comprehensive drain inspections by qualified personnel are the best way to identify and resolve drainage issues, and can increase the value of your property. They should be carried out at least on an annual basis.
