This is an offer that we believe your clients will be keen to take up – so as a fellow Sussex business we would greatly appreciate any help you can give us to promote this.

At £45 plus VAT* this full CCTV Drain Survey for Domestic properties will help house buyers understand the condition of their new home’s drainage system and reduce the risk of inheriting a costly problem that may or may not be covered by a homeowners buildings insurance policy.

The good news is that by instructing a Blockbusters Home Buyers Drain Survey we can quickly make sure a purchaser does not inherit a problem but also through using an insurance mandate we can manage any potential drainage insurance claim through the seller’s policy and switch the benefit to the new buyer costing only the policy excess should one apply.

The benefit of this is that there is then no nasty surprises for buyers and no potentially expensive re-negotiation of house prices for the seller.

Our Homebuyers Survey includes:

• Full CCTV Drain Survey to latest industry standards
• With colour screenshots of footage showing condition
• Schematic drawing of the property’s drainage system
• Full written report detailing condition of the system
• Any recommendations for maintenance or repair
• Any prices for potential further works

We recommend that all home buyers consider having one of these very reasonably priced surveys – please see the special offer page on our website to take advantage of this great offer – or follow the link detailed below:

Unclogging a sink could be a very simple task if the blockage is minor and very localised to the plug hole.

If you are attempting to unblock the sink using a plunger:

• Coat the edge of the plunger’s cup with vaseline (petroleum jelly) to improve suction
• Add a couple of inches of water to the sink to also aid suction
• Also cover the overflow holes with a damp cloth if possible to help build up pressure

Do’s & Don’ts of what to put down your sink:

• Do not ever pour fat down sinks – over time this will solidify and lead to potentially bigger problems
• Do not wash food debris down the sink – this will inevitably lead to a blockage
• Make sure you regularly remove hairs from plug holes in sinks, baths and shower

For more serious blockages please do not hesitate to call us: 0800 0689282

On 1^st October 2011 new government legislation comes into force that means water companies will take over the responsibility for some sewer pipes that have traditionally belonged to homeowners. This legislation is known as the Transfer of Private Sewers and although your householder may not experience any change you may actually benefit from the reduction in your liability.

In short most homeowners have been liable for their drainage system even when it has left their property boundary, right out until it reaches the main sewer, which is generally found in the public highway/road. Many private sewers service more than one property and historically homeowners would share this liability with their neighbours. See current situation image below:

From 1st Oct water companies will now be responsible for the private sewer either when it leaves a property boundary or as soon as it goes shared with a neighbouring property – (even when this is within your boundary) – whichever happens first. See after transfer image below:

So with this new legislation in mind – what should you do if you get a blocked drain or other drainage problems?

You need to continue to call us! – Bearing in mind that a large proportion of blockages occur internally or within your property boundary we are best placed to come out quickly and resolve both internal and external drainage or plumbing problems. We will investigate drainage liability so that if there is a more serious problem we can advise and help you.
