Drainage Specialists serving Heavitree
Covered across Heavitree and Whipton in EX1 and EX4.
Heavitree and Whipton are densely residential, with a high proportion of Victorian and Edwardian terraces that retain original clay drainage systems. Shared drains serving multiple properties are common in the terrace rows, and ownership of the shared run passed to South West Water under the 2011 private sewer transfer. We confirm ownership before quoting any shared-drain work, as adopted runs are the water company's responsibility.
