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

Yeo Vale sits in the EX31 postcode, about three miles from central Barnstaple, tucked into the valley that follows the River Yeo inland. Housing here is a mixed bag of older rural cottages, modest farmsteads converted over the decades, and some more recent residential development on the fringes. We cover this area regularly and the jobs tend to reflect that mix: blocked soakaways, slow-draining older pipework, and surface water problems that worsen every winter when the valley floor gets waterlogged.

We come out on the B-road network through the Yeo valley, which gives you a decent sense of what you're dealing with before you arrive. Properties sit on ground that drains slowly at the best of times, and once you're into the older stock you're almost certainly looking at clay-pipe runs that are decades overdue a CCTV survey. Tree roots are a genuine nuisance here, with mature hedgerow trees sitting right alongside private drainage runs in several spots. Low-lying ground is probably the single most distinctive drainage challenge in this area.
