Crediton, a historic market town and birthplace of Saint Boniface, sits in the fertile Creedy valley northwest of Exeter. The town's mix of older properties in the town centre and newer housing on the outskirts creates a varied drainage landscape.
The heavy clay soils typical of Mid Devon contribute to ground movement and can cause pipe displacement over time. Older properties near the High Street and around the Church of the Holy Cross often have clay pipe drainage systems that benefit from regular inspection and maintenance. The rural surroundings mean some properties rely on private drainage systems and septic tanks rather than mains connections.
A period property near Crediton High Street had been experiencing recurring blockages every few months. Our CCTV survey revealed a section of clay pipe that had sagged due to ground movement in the clay soil, creating a low point where debris would accumulate. We excavated and replaced the affected section with modern plastic pipe, properly bedded to prevent future settlement. The homeowner has had no further issues.
