What is a Drainage Search?
A drainage search is a report that provides information about the drainage system serving a specific property. It includes details about the location of drains, sewers, and other relevant infrastructure. The search is usually conducted by a drainage expert, such as ourselves, who will investigate the property's drainage system and provide a comprehensive report.

- The location of drains and sewers serving the property
- The type of drainage system used (e.g., combined, separate, or surface water)
- The presence of any gullies or other drainage features
- The location of nearby watercourses or other relevant features
- Information about the property's riparian rights (if applicable)
