Why Saltash Is So Prone to Drainage Trouble
Saltash sits on steep hills above the River Tamar. Lovely views, but rain doesn’t hang around. It slides fast off roofs, over garden paths, down steep drives, and into already struggling drains.
In Carkeel and Burraton especially, the mix of leaf mulch, clay-heavy ground, and narrow old culverts means one storm can clog a system. Before you know it, water’s backing up through the gully or worse, seeping into your kitchen floor.
We’ve seen it. And we’ve cleared it. Every week.
Hidden Drainage Features from the Brickwork Era
Saltash still hides a lot of its old Victorian drainage system underground. Brick-built culverts, narrow terracotta piping, and patched-up soakaways were never meant to take today’s heavy rainfall or plastic waste.
These old systems crack, shift, and get overwhelmed. And they’re tough to spot without proper CCTV surveys, especially in back lanes or under listed properties near the town centre.
That’s where trenchless repairs come in. We can reline the pipe from the inside, sealing leaks without digging a trench across your garden or drive.
Spot the Signs Before the Damage Hits
If something’s not right with your drainage, you’ll know. And if you ignore it, it’ll cost more later.
Look out for:
– Gurgling sounds from sinks or toilets
– Water pooling around outside drains
– Slow draining showers or kitchen sinks
– Foul smells coming from gullies or manholes
These are the early warnings. If you’re getting one or more, don’t wait.
CCTV Surveys & Jetting in Saltash: Fast Fix or Flood Prevention?
Jetting might sound dramatic, but sometimes, that’s all your drain needs. High-pressure water clears sludge, silt, leaves, even fat build-up. No chemicals, no digging. Just results.
And for the more serious issues? Our engineers use CCTV drain surveys. We send a tiny camera inside the pipe and record exactly what’s wrong, from minor cracks to full root collapse.
It’s quick, clean, and gives you answers right there on the screen. From there, we’ll tell you if it’s just a clean-out or a fix, no pressure, no upsell.
Blocked Drain Prevention Tips for Tamar Slopes & Cul-de-sacs
– Clear leaves weekly from garden gullies and patio channels
– Avoid flushing wipes or food scraps down sinks or toilets
– Use drain strainers in kitchens and showers
– If water drains slowly, don’t wait, call for a check
– Book a CCTV survey every 3–5 years for older homes

More Questions Saltash Customers Ask
Sometimes, yes, but only for grease or soap. If it’s blocked with leaves, silt or roots, chemicals won’t shift it. Jetting or rodding is safer and more effective.
If your pipe has a break or roots have entered, jetting only clears the symptom. We recommend a CCTV survey to check for deeper structural issues.
Absolutely. A pre-purchase drainage check can reveal hidden problems that cost thousands later. We’ve done dozens across Latchbrook, St Stephens and the surrounding areas.
Don’t Wait for Storm Season – Book Early
Storms hit Saltash hardest between October and February. That’s when blockages turn into full overflows. Our advice? Don’t wait until the forecast shows red. A 30-minute check now can save you thousands later.
And remember, we don’t charge callout fees. Just honest, local help when you need it most.
What About Coastal Drainage?
See Our Team at Work in Polperro
Saltash isn’t the only East Cornwall spot with drainage headaches. In Polperro, steep coastal lanes and clay-heavy ground create the perfect storm, especially after back-to-back rain.
We recently responded to a gully overflow call in the village centre. The narrow lane access, older pipe materials, and sharp elevation made it a textbook case of what drainage in Cornwall is really like.
