Dawlish, a charming seaside town on the South Devon coast, is famous for its black swans and the iconic railway line running along the sea wall. The town's position along the coast and the Dawlish Water stream creates specific drainage considerations.
Coastal properties and those near the Dawlish Water can experience seasonal flooding risk and groundwater fluctuations. The mixed geology of red sandstone and clay affects ground stability and pipe condition. The town's Victorian core retains much of its original drainage infrastructure, while newer developments in the surrounding areas feature modern systems.
A property near the Dawlish Water stream experienced repeated drain flooding during heavy rainfall. Our investigation revealed that the property's drainage was connected to a combined system that could not cope with storm water volume. We separated the surface water and foul drainage, installed a non-return valve on the foul connection, and directed rainwater to a new soakaway. The property has remained dry through subsequent storms.
Catching a blocked drain early can save you hundreds of pounds in emergency repairs. Here are the key warning signs every Exeter homeowner should know.
