A The Point drainage engineer,
on call 24/7 with a clear price before we start.
Local Exmouth drainage engineers covering The Point. Blocked drains, high-pressure jetting, CCTV surveys and drain repairs, with a clear price agreed before we lift a cover.
The Point sits at the eastern tip of Exmouth, out past the docks and marina, in EX8 postcode territory roughly three miles from the town centre. Housing here is a real mix: older fishermen's cottages and Victorian terraces sit alongside more recent waterfront conversions and modern apartments built when the dockside area was redeveloped. It's a compact, distinctive part of town, and the drainage jobs we get called to reflect that mix of old stock and newer builds sharing ageing infrastructure.
We come in along the Esplanade and down past the marina, which tells you something about how isolated The Point feels. The older properties are sitting on original clay pipework that's had a hard life given how close to sea level everything is. Ground water ingress is a real issue out here, and shared sewer arrangements between converted and original properties cause confusion about who's responsible for what. Mature drainage runs under narrow access lanes don't help when you're trying to jet or camera a blockage.

The Point FAQ
It's common, unfortunately. Properties this close to sea level can experience surcharging in the public sewer during extreme tidal or rainfall events. We can camera your private drain runs to confirm they're clear and in good condition, which is the first step. If the problem is in the public sewer, we'll help you put together the evidence to report it to South West Water.
