Drainage Challenges in Cambridge
Cambridge has a significant proportion of Georgian and older period properties, which shapes the kind of drainage issues our engineers encounter here.
Cambridge is in a hard water area, which means limescale build-up inside pipes is a common contributor to slow-draining fixtures and recurring blockages. Our high-pressure jetting effectively removes limescale deposits alongside fat, grease, and other debris.
The clay-heavy soil around Cambridge expands when wet and shrinks when dry, creating seasonal ground movement that puts pressure on underground pipes. This repeated shifting causes cracks and joint displacement over time, making regular drain maintenance especially worthwhile.
Cambridge's proximity to the River Cam means properties near the water often deal with higher water tables and drainage systems that can back up during heavy rain or high river levels. We regularly attend call-outs in riverside areas where these conditions cause problems.
