Landlord Drain Inspection across Sunderland

A landlord drain inspection uses CCTV camera technology to assess the condition of the drainage system at a rental property. As a landlord or letting agent in Sunderland, you are responsible for maintaining the drainage infrastructure serving your property. A pre-tenancy or periodic drain inspection gives you a documented baseline condition record, helps identify problems before they become tenant complaints, and provides evidence in the event of a dispute over damage caused during a tenancy. Our landlord inspections cover all accessible drain runs from the property to the point of connection with the public sewer, recording footage of pipe condition, joints, any existing damage, and blockages. The inspection report is produced to a professional standard with annotated images, condition grades, and recommendations. It can be used as supporting evidence for insurance claims, insurance renewals, planning applications, or deposit disputes. We can inspect multiple properties under a single booking and offer competitive rates for letting agents managing portfolios of properties.

Landlord Drain Inspection — frequently asked questions

Do I need to be present during a landlord drain inspection?

Not necessarily. If the property is occupied, we can arrange access with your tenants directly. If it is vacant, we need access to external manholes and chambers, which in most cases does not require entry to the property itself.

Can the inspection report be used in a tenancy deposit dispute?

Yes. A pre-tenancy baseline CCTV report showing drain condition at the start of a tenancy is strong evidence in deposit disputes where a landlord claims drainage damage occurred during the tenancy. We produce reports to a standard suitable for use with tenancy deposit schemes.

Can you survey multiple properties in one visit?

If your properties are located in a reasonably compact area of Sunderland, we can arrange a multi-property survey day. Portfolio clients benefit from reduced per-property pricing. Contact us to discuss scheduling for multiple units.
