Newton Abbot, a busy market town at the head of the Teign estuary, serves as a gateway to both Dartmoor and the South Devon coast. The town has seen significant development and expansion, creating a diverse mix of Victorian terraces, post-war housing, and modern estates.
The town's position at the confluence of the River Lemon and River Teign means some areas are susceptible to fluvial flooding, which can affect drainage systems. The clay and alluvial soils of the Teign valley contribute to ground movement and pipe displacement. The rapid growth of Newton Abbot in recent decades has placed increased demands on the drainage infrastructure, with some older systems struggling to cope with additional capacity.
A letting agent managing a block of flats in Newton Abbot contacted us about persistent drainage problems affecting ground-floor units. Our CCTV survey revealed a section of shared drainage that had deteriorated and was collecting debris, causing repeated blockages. We cleared the system, relined the damaged sections, and set up a planned maintenance schedule to prevent future issues. The flats have had no further drainage complaints.
