Drainage Services in Pontypridd

Pontypridd sits where the Rhondda and Taff rivers meet, on steep valley sides with heavy clay and shale ground typical of the South Wales Valleys. This terrain means drainage often runs at a significant fall, which can cause its own problems with pipe wear, while flatter ground near the river confluence is more prone to a higher water table and occasional infiltration.

The town's terraced housing, much of it built during the coal and industrial era, generally has original clay drainage now well over a century old, often shared between properties on shared or combined systems typical of valley terracing. Newer housing on the upper slopes and in Rhydyfelin uses more modern plastic pipework with separate surface water drainage.

We start with a CCTV survey to understand the pipe run, particularly important on the steep gradients typical of valley terraces where pipe wear and joint displacement are common. High-pressure jetting clears blockages effectively, and no-dig lining allows us to repair cracked or worn clay pipework beneath terraced streets without extensive excavation.
