Drainage Support for Surveyors: Helping You Flag Risks and Protect Clients

📝 Drainage Support for Surveyors: Helping You Flag Risks and Protect Clients

With changes to septic tank and drainage regulations, surveyors are increasingly expected to identify potential compliance risks during property inspections. At Drain and Tank Solutions SW, we work with surveyors across the South West to provide reliable, fast, and professional drainage surveys and reports — so you can protect your clients and maintain your reputation.

🔍 Why Surveyors Are Involved in Drainage

Whether it's a HomeBuyer Report, Building Survey, or a commercial property inspection, drainage and wastewater systems are now key areas of concern.

🛑 “Non-compliant septic systems are one of the most common reasons for flagged issues in survey reports.”

Surveyors need to understand and report on:

• The type of drainage system installed

• Visual signs of failure or environmental harm

• Whether the system appears to meet EA regulations

• If further investigation is required

🛠️ How We Support Surveyors
