A Marpool drainage engineer,
on call 24/7 with a clear price before we start.

Marpool sits in the EX8 postcode about three miles from central Exmouth, and it's a mostly residential patch of mid-twentieth century semis and detached houses mixed with some older stock along the edges. Families and long-term owner-occupiers dominate here. The drainage jobs we pick up tend to be blocked drains from ageing clay pipework, slow-emptying baths and sinks, and the occasional collapsed section under driveways that have been resurfaced one too many times.

We usually come in off the A376 corridor and work our way into the quieter residential streets from there. The housing stock is a decent mix of 1950s and 1960s builds, which means clay pipe runs that are now sixty-plus years old and starting to show it at the joints. Tree roots are a recurring problem here, particularly where mature garden trees have had decades to work their way into pipe joints. Shared sewer arrangements between neighbouring properties are common and often cause confusion when one household's blockage turns out to be the neighbour's problem too.

Most common Marpool jobs

• Clearing root ingress from clay drain runs under back gardens
• CCTV surveys to locate joint failures in ageing pipework before a driveway gets dug up
• Unblocking shared sewer laterals where the source of the problem spans two properties
• Slow-drain investigations at sinks and baths in 1960s semis where the original pipework has never been touched
• Repairing collapsed sections under resurfaced driveways
