Drain Excavation & Re-Lay for Gatwick (RH6) properties

Clay-with-flints subsoil holds water on the surface long after rain has stopped, which pushes surface water into foul drains that were never designed to take it. That matters for drain excavation & re-lay in Gatwick, because the right fix depends entirely on what the ground is doing to the pipe.

Most common drainage problems in Gatwick

  • Silted and overflowing gullies after heavy rain in RH6
  • Scale and debris build-up narrowing older runs
  • Fat, oil and grease build-up from kitchen waste pipes
  • Blocked soakaways causing standing water in gardens and driveways
  • Manhole overflow and backing-up during heavy use
