CCTV Survey in Petersfield
Petersfield's housing stock skews Victorian (20%) and Edwardian (14%), and older properties in postcodes GU31 and GU32 frequently conceal age-related drain faults—root intrusion, clay pipe fractures, and settled sections. A CCTV survey in Petersfield identifies these defects before purchase, protecting you from costly remediation after moving. Thames Water's separate sewer network in Petersfield adds complexity; older clay pipes require inspection to avoid misplumbing liabilities.
CCTV drain surveys in Petersfield inspect aging clay and cast-iron pipes for root intrusion, fractures, and sags—common defects in Petersfield's Victorian and Edwardian housing. Pre-purchase surveys across Petersfield postcodes GU31–GU34 reveal hidden damage before purchase commitment, protecting buyers from expensive drainage remediation and Thames Water compliance issues.
Drainage in Petersfield — what local engineers know
East Hampshire council oversees building standards and drainage compliance across Petersfield. Thames Water's hard supply, delivered to Petersfield postcodes GU31, GU32, GU33, and GU34, deposits limescale in drainage joints—weakening seals and accelerating root penetration. Petersfield's separate sewer system separates foul and surface drainage, but older clay pipes in Victorian Petersfield have settled over decades, creating sags where debris lodges permanently. Pre-purchase CCTV surveys are essential in Petersfield to uncover these defects before legal commitment.
- Hard water supply causes limescale accumulation in boilers, radiators and soil pipe joints — powerflush and descaling demand is high across Petersfield
- Separate sewer system across most of Petersfield: misconnections (e.g. washing machines plumbed into surface water drains) are a known local issue and can result in environmental enforcement action
- Ageing infrastructure in parts of Petersfield means drain blockages from grease, wipes and root ingress remain the most common call-out reasons
- With 34% of properties built before 1920, salt-glazed clay drainage and lead-solder copper pipework are common — pipe collapse, root ingress and joint failure are recurring call-out drivers.

Who's responsible for drains in Petersfield?
In Petersfield, responsibility for a blocked or damaged drain depends on where the fault sits. As a homeowner you are responsible for the drains within your property boundary that serve only your home. Since the 2011 private sewer transfer, Thames Water is responsible for shared sewers and lateral drains beyond your boundary — even where they run under private land. Road gullies and highway drainage are maintained by East Hampshire.
This matters because it determines who pays. If our engineer's CCTV inspection shows the fault is in a shared sewer, we'll tell you — and you can report it to Thames Water rather than paying for the repair yourself. The separate sewer layout that dominates Petersfield affects where these boundaries typically fall, and our local engineers know the GU31, GU32, GU33 networks well enough to identify ownership quickly.
