Our Tailored Approach to Surface Water Drainage

Every property is different, and so is its drainage challenge. That's why we don't offer a one-size-fits-all solution. When you call Drain 2 Flow Exmouth, I'll visit your site to properly assess the land, identify the source of your water issues, and understand your specific needs. This often involves conducting essential tests like soakaway percolation tests to determine your soil's absorption capacity. Based on this thorough assessment, we'll design a bespoke surface water drainage system that's just right for your property. This professional, considered approach ensures a long-lasting and effective solution, providing you with peace of mind.

Expert Installation of Key Drainage Systems

We offer and install a comprehensive range of surface water drainage systems, using high-quality materials and professional techniques. Our expertise includes:

  • Soakaways: These clever underground systems collect rainwater and allow it to gradually disperse back into the subsoil, ideal for managing runoff from roofs and driveways.
  • French Drains: Perfect for tackling soggy gardens or channelling water away from foundations, French drains use perforated pipes buried in gravel to collect and redirect excess groundwater.
  • Linear & Channel Drains: These neat, narrow grates are commonly installed across driveways, patios, and pathways to quickly collect surface water before it can pool.
  • Package Pump Stations: For properties where gravity drainage isn't an option, or where water needs to be lifted to a higher level, these pre-fabricated units offer a reliable solution.
  • New Foul and Surface Water Drainage Pipe Laying: From initial groundwork to final connection, we install complete drainage networks, ensuring proper separation of foul and surface water in line with regulations.

Compliance with Local Regulations & Environment Agency Guidelines

Installing new drainage systems isn't just about digging trenches and laying pipes; it's about doing it correctly and compliantly. We have a solid understanding of local planning regulations and Environment Agency guidelines that apply to surface water discharge. This ensures that any system we install on your property, whether it's in Dawlish, Clyst St Mary, or Ottery St Mary, meets all necessary legal and environmental standards. You can rely on Drain 2 Flow Exmouth to provide professional advice and a fully compliant installation, avoiding future problems or fines.

What Our Clients Say About Drain 2 Flow Exmouth

"Had a complete nightmare with a blocked toilet on a Sunday morning. Called Drain 2 Flow and their engineer was out to us in Exmouth incredibly quickly. Professional, explained the problem clearly, and had it sorted with no fuss. Can't recommend them enough."

Sarah P, Exmouth

"Needed a pre-purchase drain survey for a house we're buying in Budleigh Salterton. The service was fantastic. The report was thorough, easy to understand, and it was great dealing with a genuine local expert rather than a national call centre. Gave us real peace of mind."

Mark T, Budleigh Salterton

"I was worried we'd have to dig up our entire patio to fix a recurring drain issue. Drain 2 Flow suggested a 'no-dig' patch repair. They did a first-class job, were very tidy, and the price was exactly what they quoted. Honest, reliable service."

David R, Sidmouth

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Here you'll find answers to the most common questions we receive about surface water drainage. From soggy lawns in Clyst Heath to flooded driveways in Exmouth, we provide clear advice on the right solution for your property.

Do I need planning permission for a surface water drainage installation in Exeter?

+

Most simple drainage upgrades on your own property fall under permitted development. However, if you are paving over a front garden in Clyst Heath, you might need permission unless you use a permeable surface or direct the water to a proper soakaway installation. We can help you understand the local Exeter City Council rules before we start digging.

What is the best way to stop my driveway from flooding?

+

An ACO channel installation is usually the best solution for hard surfaces. We fit these long grated drains across the entrance of your driveway or in front of your garage. They catch the rainwater before it pools and pipe it away safely into your storm water systems.

Can I connect my surface water drain to the foul sewer?

+

South West Water heavily restricts mixing rainwater with the foul sewer system because it causes treatment plants to overflow. We always look for sustainable drainage systems first, like installing a soakaway or directing water to a dedicated surface water drain.

Why is my lawn always waterlogged during winter?

+

Many gardens in the Exeter and East Devon area sit on dense, clay-like soil that traps water. If the water cannot soak down, it just sits on top. We can fix this by installing French drains or land drains that capture the excess water and move it away from your garden.
