Expert Drainage Installations In Ottery St Mary, Devon

Whether you’re building a new home near Daisymount or extending an existing property in the heart of Ottery St Mary, you need distinct systems for foul water (from toilets, sinks, baths) and surface water (rainwater from roofs and hardstanding areas). We work closely with you and your builders to design and install these critical systems, ensuring they meet all current building regulations and local authority requirements. We handle everything from the initial groundworks and pipe laying to connecting your new drains to the main sewer line where available, or to alternative treatment solutions. Our local knowledge of the ground conditions and infrastructure around Ottery St Mary helps us plan effectively for every project.

Many properties in the beautiful rural areas surrounding Ottery St Mary aren't connected to the main sewer network. For these homes and businesses, a properly installed septic tank or modern wastewater treatment plant is essential. We have extensive experience with these systems, handling everything from initial soakaway percolation tests to determine ground suitability, to the full installation and commissioning of your chosen solution. We make sure your system complies with Environment Agency general binding rules, protecting both your property and the local environment that makes East Devon so special.

Managing rainwater effectively is vital, especially with Devon’s changeable weather. If you’re experiencing standing water in your garden or a high water table, a well-designed soakaway or French drain system can provide the solution. We assess your ground conditions and property layout to install efficient soakaways that disperse surface water safely and quickly back into the ground. For more challenging sites in Ottery St Mary, we can also install package pump stations to move wastewater efficiently to its discharge point, even against gravity.

Connecting a new build or an existing property to the public sewer network requires specialist knowledge and careful planning. We manage the entire process, from applying to the relevant water authority (South West Water in our region) to excavating and making the connection safely and compliantly. We also assist with upgrading older, failing drainage systems, often found in period properties across East Devon, replacing outdated pipework with modern, durable materials designed for long-term performance.
