Build Over Drain Surveys IN cHESHIRE, sOUTH mANCHESTER AND sTAFFORDSHIRE

When planning construction or extension work near drainage systems, a Build Over Drain Survey is essential to ensure your project complies with regulations and avoids future complications. At Clearflow Surveys, we provide professional CCTV drain surveys tailored for build-over scenarios, giving you the insights you need to proceed with confidence.

What Is a Build Over Drain Survey?

A Build Over Drain Survey assesses the condition and position of underground drainage systems before, during, or after construction work. It’s particularly important when building over or near public sewers, as regulatory authorities (like water companies) often require confirmation that no damage has occurred, and the system remains accessible for future maintenance.

When Do You Need a Build Over Drain Survey?

• Planning Construction or Extensions: Before obtaining approval for a project involving foundations near or over drainage infrastructure.

• Post-Build Compliance: After construction, to demonstrate the drainage system hasn’t been compromised.

• Regulatory Requirements: When working near public sewers to satisfy local authority or water company conditions.

• Protecting Infrastructure: To prevent future drainage issues caused by construction activity.

Our Build Over Drain Survey Process

1. Pre-Survey Consultation: We work closely with you to understand your project’s requirements and any specific regulations or concerns from authorities.

2. CCTV Inspection: Using advanced CCTV cameras, we conduct a thorough inspection of the drainage system, assessing its location, condition, and capacity to handle construction impact.

3. Detailed Reporting: You’ll receive a WRC-accredited professional report tailored for regulatory approval, including:

   • High-definition footage or images of the drainage system.

   • Precise mapping of pipe locations and structural conditions.

   • Identification of any pre-existing issues or areas of concern.

   • Expert recommendations for safeguarding the system.

4. Post-Construction Survey (if required): After your project is complete, we can re-inspect the system to confirm no damage or disruptions occurred, providing you with peace of mind and compliance documentation.

Why Are Build Over Drain Surveys Important?

Failing to assess drainage systems during construction can lead to costly and avoidable issues, such as:

• Structural Damage: Undetected cracks or collapses caused by heavy equipment or excavation.

• Regulatory Non-Compliance: Resulting in fines or project delays.

• Future Maintenance Challenges: Ensuring systems remain accessible for repairs.

• Insurance Claims Denied: If proper due diligence isn’t demonstrated.
