Drainage Services in Tredegar

Tredegar's older housing was built up the steep valley sides during the industrial expansion of South Wales, and drainage from this period is typically shallow clay pipe laid to follow the challenging local terrain. The steep gradients found across much of the town can cause pipes to run either too fast, eroding joints, or too slow where the land briefly flattens, allowing silt to settle and cause blockages.

Heavy annual rainfall typical of the South Wales valleys, combined with the area's clay soils that hold water well, means surface water can be a significant factor for the town's older combined sewers. Root ingress from established gardens along the terraced streets is common, and some properties on the edges of town toward Sirhowy rely on private drainage arrangements given their more rural, hillside setting.

Our surveys in Tredegar start with CCTV inspection to map the often steep and winding pipe runs found beneath the town's terraces. Jetting clears silt and root-related blockages effectively, and no-dig lining allows repair of damaged sections without excavating the narrow gardens and steep paths common in this hillside town.
