NADC Accredited & Compliant

As proud members of the National Association of Drainage Contractors (NADC), all our installation work—from foul water systems in Tavistock to soakaway percolation tests in Topsham—is guaranteed to meet the highest industry standards and comply with all current building regulations.

Comprehensive Installation Expertise

We handle it all. Whether you need a new septic tank, a modern wastewater treatment plant, a package pump station, or sewer connections for a new build, our team has the groundwork skills to manage the entire project professionally from start to finish across Devon.

Truly Local & Independent

When you call us, you speak directly to a drainage expert, not a national call centre. With engineers based in Exeter, Exmouth, and Torquay, we offer a personal, accountable service. Our reputation in communities from Newton Abbot to Barnstaple means everything to us.

Fully Insured for Your Peace of Mind

Your property is always in safe hands. We carry full public liability insurance, providing complete protection and peace of mind for every job, from installing simple channel drainage to complex excavation work on commercial sites.

Transparent & Honest Pricing

We believe in clear, upfront communication. You will receive a detailed and honest quote for your drainage installation project with no hidden charges or unexpected costs. Just fair pricing for professional, high-quality workmanship.

Built to Last

We don't believe in cutting corners. By using the correct, high-quality materials and our extensive groundwork experience, we ensure your new drainage system is robust, reliable, and provides an effective, long-term solution for your property.

Comprehensive New Drainage System Setup

Building a new property or adding a significant extension often requires a brand-new drainage system. Our team excels in designing and installing both foul and surface water drainage networks that meet the exact specifications of your project and, crucially, all current building regulations. We take into account the unique topography of your site, whether you're in the rolling hills surrounding Ottery St Mary or a coastal spot near Exmouth, to ensure optimal flow and connectivity. Our work covers everything from initial groundworks and pipe laying to connection points, ensuring a seamless and efficient system from day one. We’re well-versed in both domestic and commercial requirements, providing robust solutions for any scale of development.

Professional Septic Tank & Wastewater Treatment Plant Installations

For properties not connected to the main sewer network, a reliable off-mains drainage solution is essential. We offer expert installation of modern septic tanks and advanced wastewater treatment plants across Devon. Before any installation begins, we can carry out vital soakaway percolation tests to determine the suitability of your ground and advise on the most effective system for your property. We guide you through the latest environmental regulations, helping you choose and install a system that’s compliant, efficient, and environmentally friendly. Whether you're in a secluded farmhouse near Crediton or a semi-rural home in Cullompton, we provide tailored solutions that ensure your wastewater is managed effectively and legally.

Effective Water Management with Soakaways & Pump Stations

Managing surface water is just as important as managing foul waste. We design and install effective soakaway systems, including traditional French drains and modern channel drainage, to prevent waterlogging and protect your property’s foundations. For sites where gravity drainage isn't feasible, or where wastewater needs to be moved uphill or over a distance, we also specialise in the installation of robust package pump stations. These vital units ensure that water, whether it's rainwater or foul effluent, is efficiently transported to the appropriate disposal point. Our engineers, based locally in Exeter, Exmouth, and Torquay, have extensive experience assessing the specific needs of properties across Devon, from Plymouth to Barnstaple.

Ensuring Compliance and Long-Term Reliability

When it comes to drainage installations, compliance isn't just a recommendation; it's a legal requirement. We work meticulously to ensure every system we install adheres to all local planning permissions, environmental agency guidelines, and building regulations. We understand the importance of proper planning and execution, and our team provides detailed assessments and transparent guidance throughout the process. From ensuring the correct fall on pipes to precise sewer connections, our focus is on creating drainage infrastructure that is not only functional today but remains reliable and trouble-free for many years to come, giving you complete confidence in your investment.

This allows us to discuss your project in detail, assess your site, and provide expert advice on the best drainage solutions for your property in Devon. Just give us a call to arrange a convenient time.

How Does Drain 2 Flow Devon Ensure Compliance for New Drain Work?

+

Ensuring compliance with all relevant building regulations and environmental standards is a critical part of our work. Our experienced team keeps up-to-date with the latest legislation, including the 2020 septic tank regulations. We meticulously plan and execute every installation to meet these requirements, providing you with a fully compliant and efficient drainage system. We aim to make the process as straightforward as possible for our customers.

Can You Help with Land Drainage or Surface Water Management for Gardens in Devon?

+

Absolutely. Many properties, especially in areas prone to heavy rainfall or with specific ground conditions, suffer from waterlogged gardens or driveways. We specialise in designing and installing effective land drainage solutions, including French drains and channel drainage, to efficiently manage surface water. This helps prevent standing water, protect your property, and improve the usability of your outdoor spaces across Devon.

What is the Process for Connecting My New Drainage System to the Main Sewer?

+

Connecting a new private drainage system to the public sewer requires careful planning and often involves liaising with the local water authority (e.g., South West Water). We manage this entire process for you, from obtaining the necessary permissions to excavating and making the physical connection. Our team ensures the work is carried out safely, efficiently, and in full compliance with all regulations, providing a seamless transition for your waste and surface water.

Is Excavation Always Necessary for Drainage Installation, or Do You Use Other Methods?

+

For new drainage installations, some level of excavation is almost always required to lay new pipes and connect to existing systems or public sewers. However, we always aim to minimise disruption by planning the work efficiently. For repairs or replacements of existing drains where possible, we often use advanced "no-dig" technologies like drain relining, which avoids extensive digging and preserves your property. We always choose the most appropriate and least disruptive method for your specific drainage needs.

What if I Have an Emergency Drainage Issue During or After My Installation?

+

Even with the most meticulous planning, unexpected issues can sometimes arise. That's why Drain 2 Flow Devon offers a genuine 24/7 emergency call-out service across Devon. If you experience any urgent drainage problems during or after your installation, you can call us anytime, day or night. We'll respond quickly to assess and resolve the issue, providing peace of mind and ensuring your new system functions perfectly.
