Drainage and sewerage

Roads drainage

Roads drainage is the rainwater that drains into the public sewerage system from public roads and footpaths is termed roads drainage.

All properties connected to the public system pay this charge – it reflects your share of maintaining Scotland’s drainage system. There are separate charges for these services.

Drainage survey

We can survey the drainage on your site to make sure you’re being charged for the right services. If not, we’ll put your case to Scottish Water.

Using CCTV technology or simple dye testing, we can check whether or not property drainage goes back into Scottish Water’s network.

Get in touch to arrange a drainage survey. There’s a fee – but the investment might be worth it in the long run.

Mapping your network

Plot your underground infrastructure, and be prepared for any emergency. We use ground inspection and aerial photography to give you the full picture.

Drain and sewer design

If you think your surface water isn’t draining to the sewer system, and should be, we can help by designing and building drains and sewers for your site that meet the right industry standards.
