We undertake the following:
We excel in the installation, maintenance and repair of underground drainage systems. Our drainage experts can install new systems that meet all relevant building regulations and seamlessly connect with the public sewer system. Likewise, if you are currently experiencing worrying symptoms of a problem, like recurring blockages or a nasty and persistent odour, or even a complete breakdown – we can visit to conduct diagnostics, combining 35 years of industry expertise with the latest equipment.
If a pipe/drainage system is badly broken it may not be salvageable via routine repairs. For example, if a tree root gets inside and has blocked a large section of the line, or a joint is badly displaced. In these situations, our drainage contractors will recommend drain relaying. This involves excavating the problem areas, carefully removing the section in question, before replacing them with new, uncompromised elements.
In certain low-lying areas, public sewer systems are higher than domestic sewer pipes, meaning gravity simply won’t handle the job of transferring sewage from one to the other. Pumping stations tackle this problem. They utilise a large tank in which sewage collects until it reaches a certain level. Then a pump will pressurise the sewage and send it uphill to the main sewer, where gravity takes the wheel. The pumping stations our drainage contractors install are often a cheaper and easier option than the extensive groundworks involved in adjusting sewers to work purely by gravity, and are essential when sewer lines pass over ridges.
An easy and effective way of providing groundwater recharge and stormwater attenuation, soakaways are excavations filled with a material – usually brickwork, concrete or rubble. They’re ideal for areas of land which don’t have direct access to a drainage system, and prevent water logging. Think of them like an anti-well: rather than storing and giving access to water, they dispose of it in a natural way. Our team builds functional, ecologically sustainable soakaways.
Lucas Groundworks owns and operates the plant machinery required to make trench excavation quick, straightforward and resultantly, as unobtrusive to our clients as possible. Trench excavation is required in all sorts of situations, most commonly to allow for further groundworks, drainage services or landscaping.
