Drainage Services in Pencoed

Pencoed sits on gently rolling ground between Bridgend and the Vale of Glamorgan border, with a mix of older village-centre housing and substantial newer residential development. The older core has clay drainage from the early twentieth century, while significant growth in recent decades has introduced modern estates with separate foul and surface water systems in plastic pipe, generally coping well with the area's moderate rainfall.

The surrounding countryside includes clay and glacial till soils that can be slow-draining in places, relevant for the rural fringe properties around Coychurch and Heol-y-Cyw that rely on septic tanks or private treatment plants rather than mains sewerage. Established hedgerows and trees around the older parts of the village mean root ingress into ageing clay pipe remains a periodic issue.

Our surveys in Pencoed start with CCTV inspection to determine pipe material and age across the village's mixed housing stock. High-pressure jetting handles routine blockages effectively, and no-dig lining is used for damaged sections beneath gardens and driveways. For septic tank properties on the rural fringe, we carry out percolation testing to confirm the clay-based ground can support a soakaway.
