We offer a wide range of surface drainage systems, tailored to the specific needs of your property and the flow of water around it. Common types include channel drains for hard surfaces like driveways and patios, soakaways for dispersing water into the ground, French drains for managing waterlogged lawns or basements, and gully pots for collecting runoff. For larger or more complex sites, we can also design and implement advanced stormwater retention or attenuation systems to manage significant volumes of water. Our design takes into account the length and capacity needed for effective water management.

Signs you might need an improved stormwater system include standing water in your garden or driveway after rain, dampness in your basement or crawl space, erosion around your property's foundation, overflowing gutters, or water pooling near your home’s entry points. If you're experiencing any of these issues, or simply want to proactively protect your property from Devon’s weather, it’s a good idea to contact a local drainage expert for an assessment. We can identify the root cause and recommend the best course of action.

Our storm-proof drainage design process begins with a thorough site survey. We assess your property’s layout, existing drainage, soil type, and the surrounding topography to understand how water currently flows and where it collects. We then discuss your specific concerns and goals. Based on this information, we create a detailed design for a new or upgraded system, specifying the type of drains, channels, and other equipment needed to effectively manage surface water. We always aim for a durable result that meets your needs and relevant building regulations.

While installing a new drainage system often requires some excavation, we always aim to minimise disruption to your property. We use efficient equipment and experienced teams to complete the work as cleanly and quickly as possible. For specific repairs or improvements within existing pipes, we also offer no-dig technology where feasible. Our focus is on providing a long-term solution with the least amount of inconvenience.

Designing effective drainage for wide areas, whether it's a large garden, a commercial car park, or an agricultural space, requires careful planning. We utilise techniques such as strategic placement of channel drains, intelligent grading to direct water flow, and the installation of appropriate stormwater management systems like detention basins or large soakaways. Our comprehensive approach ensures that even extensive areas are protected from excessive water accumulation, keeping the water away from crucial structures.
