At Drain Care South West, we’ve spent over four decades serving the homes and businesses of Plymouth, providing fast, professional and affordable drainage services.
Over time, we’ve come to know which areas tend to experience drainage issues more frequently, whether due to older infrastructure, environmental factors, or high usage.
Here are the top five areas in Plymouth where we regularly carry out Drain Unblocking, CCTV Surveys, Jetting, Repairs and Maintenance:
1. St Budeaux
St Budeaux is one of the busiest areas we cover. With a mix of traditional terraced homes and post war housing, the drainage systems here are often aged and vulnerable to collapse, root intrusion or scale build up.
We’re often called out for blocked manholes, slow drains, and even recurring issues where deeper problems haven’t been properly investigated in the past.
2. Mutley & Greenbank
These vibrant student heavy neighbourhoods, with high turnover tenancies and shared accommodation, are hotspots for blocked sinks, toilets and showers. Excessive usage, combined with less frequent maintenance, often leads to quick build up of grease, hair and debris.
We regularly support landlords and letting agents in this area with both emergency unblocking and preventative maintenance.
3. Plymstock
With a large number of older properties and mature gardens, Plymstock often sees issues caused by tree root ingress and ageing pipework. Surface drains also get blocked during storms, especially if leaves and debris aren’t regularly cleared.
Our no dig repair solutions and root cutting services are frequently used here to prevent excavation and disruption.
4. Efford
Efford presents a variety of drainage challenges, particularly with ground movement affecting drain alignment. We’re frequently called in to investigate repeated blockages, foul smells, and garden flooding.
In many cases, a quick CCTV drain survey reveals hidden faults that can then be repaired using trenchless methods.
5. Stonehouse
This diverse area includes listed buildings, flats, shops and newer developments.
It’s also one of the areas where commercial clients frequently call on us for grease management and regular maintenance.
From pubs to takeaways, we help Stonehouse businesses stay compliant and operational with no disruption.
