- Record the regularity, location and costs each time the drains are blocked.

- Ask your plumber where the lines are located; find out if they are under concrete driveway, under trees or in difficult to access locations. You may be able to get a diagram of the drains from your local water utility.
- Get a CCTV inspection – any good maintenance plumber will have a CCTV Camera that can view the inside of the pipe and pinpoint the location of the problems. The plumber should also be able to provide you with a copy of the inspection on DVD or digital file, and a report based on the findings. That way you can use that report to get other quotes. You may have to pay for it but it could save you thousands in the long run.
- Get a couple of quotes, be sure your comparing apples for apples.
- Find out if you need to replace the entire drainage system or can you get away with just replacing a section or relining the section.
- Can the affected sections be done at different times (to help with cash flow)? Will it cost more to have it done separately?
- What will be the inconveniences faced by the residents during the work?
