Drainage Services in Aberdare

Aberdare lies in the upper Cynon valley, on steep clay and shale slopes shaped by the area's coal mining history. Much of the town's housing consists of dense Victorian and Edwardian terraces built for the mining workforce, typically served by shared or combined clay drainage systems that have been in the ground for well over a hundred years.

The steep valley gradient means drains here often run at a sharp fall, which can accelerate wear in older clay pipework and lead to joint displacement over time. More recent housing on the upper parts of town and in surrounding villages tends to use modern plastic pipework, though rural properties towards the valley heads may rely on private drainage.

Our approach is to survey with CCTV equipment first to establish exactly how the drain runs and what condition it's in, particularly important given the steep terraces typical of this valley. High-pressure jetting clears blockages from silt and debris, and no-dig lining repairs worn or displaced clay pipework without disturbing terraced streets and yards.
