Private wastewater systems

Off-mains drainage around Guildford

Properties without a direct mains sewer connection may rely on a septic tank, sewage treatment plant, cesspit, pumping chamber or drainage field. These systems need the right maintenance, fault investigation and replacement planning for the property, occupancy and discharge route.

We can help owners and site managers investigate warning signs, understand the existing system and plan practical off-mains drainage work around Guildford and, depending on the job, up to about five miles from the town centre.

River Wey flood resilience

Prepare property drainage before prolonged or heavy rain

Some Guildford properties near the River Wey can face river or surface-water flood risk. Routine drainage work cannot stop the river flooding, but well-maintained property drainage can reduce avoidable backing-up and help reveal defects before severe weather.

  • Keep gullies, channels, downpipes and drainage outlets clear.
  • Use a CCTV survey to investigate repeated backing-up or slow drainage.
  • Repair damaged pipes, displaced joints and known connection faults.
  • Have pumps, alarms and backflow protection assessed for the specific property where relevant.
  • Keep a property flood plan and move valuables before flooding reaches the site.
