FAQ

Stormwater Drainage Questions

Here are answers to common questions about our stormwater drainage services for properties in Clyst Heath and across Exeter. If your query isn't covered, please call for friendly, expert advice.

What are the common signs my property needs improved stormwater drainage?

+

The most obvious sign is standing water that refuses to drain away after heavy rainfall. You might also notice overflowing gutters, water pooling around your foundations, or sudden damp patches on your lower walls. If your driveway turns into a pond every time it rains, you need effective surface water management. Spotting these issues early helps with complete flood prevention and stops costly water damage to your brickwork and foundations.

Why do my surface water drains keep blocking during heavy rain?

+

Surface water drains easily fill up with autumn leaves, mud, silt, and even aggressive tree roots. Once this debris builds up in the pipes, the rainwater has absolutely nowhere to go. Regular blocked drains can quickly push water back towards your home. To find out exactly what is going wrong beneath the ground, we carry out detailed CCTV surveys. This lets us pinpoint the exact cause of the blockage without digging up your patio or lawn.

How do I know if my soakaway has failed and needs replacing?

+

Soakaways handle the rainwater run-off from your roof, gutters, and driveway. Over time, the soil around them can become compacted with silt and leaves, stopping the water from safely soaking into the ground. If you notice a soggy, waterlogged patch of lawn right above where your system sits, it has likely failed. As reliable local drainage specialists, we provide fast standing water solutions, from high-pressure flushing to a brand new soakaway installation to keep your Devon drainage flowing perfectly.

Are there specific local regulations for surface water management in Exeter?

+

Yes, UK Building Regulations and Environment Agency rules dictate exactly how you must handle rainwater run-off. You cannot legally connect your stormwater drainage to a foul water sewer, as this overwhelms the local treatment plants and causes raw sewage to spill. Whether you need an upgrade to your Clyst Heath drainage or a whole new system for an older Exeter property, your surface water needs a dedicated, legal route. As NADC accredited Exeter drainage experts, we design and install systems that completely comply with all current environmental guidelines.
