Usually the first sign of blocked drains is smells and another is the water level in your toilet appearing unusually high. If these signs are noticed and dealt with as soon as possible though, the underlying problem will be quicker and much cheaper to fix.

Avoid flushing non-biodegradable products (wipes etc..) down the toilet, avoid washing food scraps and food product down the sink, and never wash cooking oils or fats down the drains.

Obviously if the house is brand new then there is no reason to have a CCTV Drain Survey. However, if the house is older, it is always beneficial to gain as much information on anything you will be investing your money into, especially if it’s your potential home.
