CCTV Drain Surveys in Wem
Camera surveys of drains and private sewers with a recorded video and written report, for repeat blockages, home purchases and pre-works checks. Serving Wem and the surrounding villages, including Clive, Loppington, Edstaston, Aston.
A CCTV survey puts a camera through your drains and takes the guesswork out of what is happening underground. Instead of paying to clear the same blockage twice a year, you see the displaced joint, the root mass or the collapsed section causing it, exactly where it is and how bad it is.
For Wem’s first-time rural buyers, a camera survey is the cheapest education available: it shows exactly what a cottage’s drainage actually is — where the runs go, what condition they hold, whether the tank the seller mentioned is the tank that exists — before completion makes it all the buyer’s problem. Paired with a septic inspection, it answers the conveyancer’s compliance questions and turns an inherited mystery into a priced list, which around here regularly changes the negotiation.
The villages around Wem grew up along lanes rather than sewers, and most outlying properties run on private drainage. Older cottages often have tanks of considerable age and uncertain history, and nearby Wem Moss, like the other mosses, marks ground where drainage has always needed care.
Buying or selling around Wem
Wem offers some of north Shropshire’s more affordable rural property, from town terraces to village cottages and smallholdings. That draws first-time rural buyers who have never owned a septic tank before, and we spend a fair amount of time explaining how these systems work to new owners and helping them work out what an inherited problem will take to put right.
