Drainage Challenges in Peterborough
Peterborough has a diverse mix of housing from different eras, which shapes the kind of drainage issues our engineers encounter here.
Peterborough 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.
Parts of Peterborough sit in flood-prone areas, which means drainage systems need to cope with heavy rainfall and potential surface water flooding. We provide rapid emergency response when flooding hits and can survey your drains to check they're prepared for the next downpour.
Many newer housing developments in Peterborough have been built with modern plastic drainage systems, but poor installation and construction debris left in pipes are surprisingly common problems we encounter. Even new-build estates can suffer from blockages within months of completion.
Peterborough's proximity to the River Nene 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.
