Problem Solving

Drainage is often overlooked as the cause for more obvious problems, e.g. damp, rodent infestation, smells and subsidence, but it is quite often a contributing factor. 
 
A significant rise of the water table in recent years has left both surface water and foul soakaways inoperable. This is resulting in large amounts of septic tanks not functioning to the standards they were originally designed for, leading to excessive tank emptying and unpleasant wet patches in many gardens. 
 
Independent Drainage staff are always available to discuss your drainage problems and are more than happy to offer free advice.

Rodent

Rodent Investigation

If you are experiencing problems with pests and the responsibility is down to a fault with your drainage, we can identify the problem areas and advise of the best form of repair using the latest CCTV equipment.

Damp Investigation

Damp can be a real problem and the cause isn't always easy to find. It is always worth checking the drainage, as leaks to these are a major cause. Fixing the leaking pipe can save thousands on damp-proofing.

Unwanted Smells

Often the first sign of a problem is the smell. Whether it's trouble with drains venting or a blockage, by using CCTV equipment and high pressure water jetting we can solve the problem.

Pollution

If you've been informed by pollution control that your drainage is connected into the wrong system (e.g. foul water into surface water), we can advise you on the simplest way of putting it right and then offer you a competitive price to carry out the work.

Subsidence

Leaking drains can saturate the surrounding soil which can lead to footings being undermined and other structural problems.
