Drainage Services in Keynsham

Keynsham sits on the River Avon and River Chew, and the low-lying land near the confluence means some older properties experience a high water table, particularly through winter months. The town's Victorian core has traditional clay drainage, while the substantial inter-war and post-war housing that expanded Keynsham outward relies on a mix of clay and early concrete pipework, some of which is now reaching the end of its serviceable life.

The redevelopment of the former Somerdale factory site has brought modern separate surface water and foul systems using plastic pipe, contrasting with the combined sewers still found in the older parts of town. Riverside gardens and properties close to the Avon floodplain can suffer from silt ingress and slow-draining systems after flood events, which calls for careful assessment before any repair work begins.

Our approach in Keynsham starts with CCTV drain surveys to map pipe runs and confirm the condition of ageing clay or concrete sections. High-pressure jetting handles routine blockages from grease and silt, and for damaged pipework beneath gardens or driveways near the river, no-dig relining avoids unnecessary disruption to properties in flood-conscious areas.
