3 reasons a build over survey of your drains would be beneficial

Planning to build an extension or make significant changes to your property?

Before you start, it’s crucial to know what’s happening underground. Here are three key reasons why a build-over survey of your drains is essential:

1. Ensure structural integrity

A build-over survey assesses the condition and layout of your existing drainage system, ensuring that your new construction won't compromise its integrity. The last thing you want is for your shiny new extension to cause a collapse or blockage in your drains. By identifying potential issues beforehand, you can design your build to avoid damaging your drainage system, keeping everything flowing smoothly.

2. Avoid costly future repairs

Knowing the state of your drains before you build can save you a lot of money and hassle down the road. If your construction inadvertently damages the drains, it can lead to significant and expensive problems, such as blockages, leaks, or even structural damage to your home. A build-over survey allows you to plan and protect your drainage system, avoiding unexpected repair costs and ensuring your new build is a lasting investment.

3. Comply with regulations

Building over or near a drainage system usually requires permission from your local water authority. A build-over survey provides the detailed information needed to secure this permission, ensuring your project complies with all necessary regulations. This prevents legal issues and ensures your construction is safe and sound, meeting all required standards.
