DRAIN TESTING
Compliance, Confidence & Early Detection
Drain testing is often required during property sales, renovations, new builds, or suspected leaks. It’s also essential after repairs or drain relining to prove integrity. Without proper testing, undetected problems can cause:
Water or foul waste leaks damaging foundations or interiors
Failure to meet Building Control, planning, or handover requirements
Disputes during property sales or insurance claims
Undiagnosed cracks, faulty joints, or root intrusion
Non-compliant work going unnoticed until it’s too late
Future costly repairs due to unverified drainage issues

⭐ Client Testimonial
“We needed drain testing to finalise sign-off on a property extension. Eighty Eight completed both air and water tests, provided the paperwork the same day, and helped us pass inspection with no issues. Wouldn’t use anyone else.”– Builder, Telford
