Recent Drainage Work Across Our Area
Our engineers carry out drainage and wastewater works for homes and businesses across Cambridgeshire, West Norfolk and West Suffolk. Below are examples of recent projects completed by our local teams, from emergency drainage and CCTV surveys to specialist repairs, tankers, pumps and private drainage services.

Commercial Pump Chamber Solution – Bury St Edmunds
A CCTV drain survey at a commercial site in Bury St Edmunds identified significant standing wastewater within the drainage system. Further investigation and level surveying confirmed that sections of the drainage were not flowing correctly due to a backfall.
Rather than carrying out unnecessary excavation and relaying the drainage, we identified a pump chamber installation as the most effective solution. The pump chamber provides the increased flow needed to move wastewater effectively through the existing drainage system, helping to reduce the build-up of fats, oils and grease from surrounding food outlets.
