A Rumsam drainage engineer,
on call 24/7 with a clear price before we start.
Local Barnstaple drainage engineers covering Rumsam. Blocked drains, high-pressure jetting, CCTV surveys and drain repairs, with a clear price agreed before we lift a cover.
Rumsam sits on the western edge of Barnstaple in the EX31 postcode, about 10 minutes from the town centre depending on traffic through the roundabouts. It's a mixed residential area with a fair spread of 1970s and 1980s semis alongside some older detached properties on larger plots. We get called out here regularly for blocked drains and slow-running toilets, along with the occasional collapsed lateral that's been quietly deteriorating under a driveway for years.
Coming out from Barnstaple we typically head out along the Sticklepath road before dropping into the quieter residential streets that make up Rumsam. The housing stock from the 1970s and 1980s means a lot of the underground pipework is ageing clay or early plastic, and the joints have had decades to shift. Garden trees are well established on many plots, and root ingress into pipe joints is one of the most common findings when we put a camera down. Shared drainage runs between neighbouring properties are also common here, which complicates repairs if two households need to agree on access.

Rumsam FAQ
If the blockage is on the shared section before it connects to the public sewer, both households are jointly responsible. We can survey it, identify exactly where the problem is, and give you a clear written report so you know whose responsibility it sits with before spending money on a repair.
