A The Maer drainage engineer,
on call 24/7 with a clear price before we start.
Local Exmouth drainage engineers covering The Maer. Blocked drains, high-pressure jetting, CCTV surveys and drain repairs, with a clear price agreed before we lift a cover.
The Maer sits on the western edge of Exmouth in EX8, about three miles from the town centre, and it's a mixed patch, older detached and semi-detached properties backing onto the nature reserve sit alongside some more recent infill development. We get called out here fairly regularly for blocked drains and slow-running waste pipes, often in houses where the drainage hasn't had much attention since they were built. It's quiet residential work but the age of the stock means the pipes underneath tell a different story.
We come in off the A376 and drop down through the western side of town to reach the Maer. The housing close to the nature reserve and seafront fringe tends to be older, and that means clay pipework with push-fit joints that have had decades to shift and crack. Tree roots from mature garden planting are a recurring problem here. The low-lying ground near the reserve edge doesn't help either, surface water has nowhere to drain quickly and you see it backing up in gullies after any serious rain.
Most common The Maer jobs
- Clearing root ingress from clay branch drains under older garden plots
- CCTV survey after repeated slow drainage that a plunger hasn't shifted
- Blocked gully clearance where leaf matter and silt have built up through winter
- Tracing a shared sewer connection that nobody on the road could locate
- Pipe relining on cracked clay runs to avoid a full excavation in established gardens

The Maer FAQ
It could be both. The low-lying ground in this part of Exmouth means surface water builds up quickly, and if your gully or lateral drain already has a partial blockage from silt or roots, that's when it tips over and backs up into the garden or under the door. We'd want to clear the line first, then camera it to see if there's a structural reason it keeps happening.
