Halloween is the season for things that lurk below, and under a surprising number of our streets, something does. Not ghosts, but rivers. They weren’t lost, they were buried, built over and, in many cases, turned into sewers that are still in use today.

Here’s where they went: https://www.drainandsewer.co.uk/lost-rivers-hidden-tunnels-under-uk-towns/

Cracked walls, sticking doors, uneven floors. Most subsidence investigations start with soil type and nearby trees. What often gets missed: a cracked or leaking drain, slowly washing away the ground beneath your foundations until it can no longer take the weight above it. If you're investigating subsidence on a commercial site, drainage should be one of the first things checked, not the last.

England is still in drought on paper, with 10 areas in drought status and September rainfall at 65% of average. But wetter, stormier weather is expected this autumn. Dry ground, heavy rain and falling leaves put drains under pressure.

Here’s what to check on your site: https://www.drainandsewer.co.uk/autumn-leaves-blocked-drains-after-drought/

An emergency pump station failure usually means an out-of-hours callout, tanker hire, temporary pump hire, and in the worst cases an Environment Agency pollution investigation, easily running to several thousand pounds. A pre-planned maintenance contract keeps costs predictable and gives you documented service records if you ever need to show due diligence. Get in touch if you're not sure when yours was last serviced.

Pump stations are an essential but frequently neglected part of many commercial drainage systems. Because they are buried underground and out of sight, they can go years without a proper inspection - until something fails. When a pump station fails, the consequences for a business can be immediate a...

Surface water drainage plays a central role in managing rainfall on commercial sites. Regular clearing of gullies and channels, combined with accurate drainage mapping, helps ensure systems continue to perform during periods of heavy rain.

Preventative maintenance supports compliance, reduces risk and protects day-to-day operations.

Even sites with a maintenance schedule often miss the same five things on their pump station: float switch testing under real operating conditions, alarm verification, wet well de-silting, rising main inspection, and electrical and control panel checks. Any one of these being skipped can mean a fault goes unnoticed until the station fails.

A one-off blockage can happen. A repeated blockage usually points to something more. Recurring drainage problems can indicate hidden defects, poor flow, debris build-up or damaged pipework.

Our blog explains what repeat issues can reveal about your drainage system.

After the driest July on record and months of drought, this bank holiday weekend's forecast is thunderstorms and heavy rain. Good news for reservoirs, but ground that's been baked hard for weeks doesn't just soak that up. Expect gullies working overtime, and any weak point in your drainage to show itself fast.

We wrote about exactly this scenario back when the drought started: dry, compacted ground sheds water instead of absorbing it, which is why the driest summer in decades can flip into a flooding risk almost overnight. If your site hasn't had a check since the hosepipe bans came in, this weekend is the test.

Pump stations are often out of sight and out of mind, until they fail. Under the Environmental Protection Act 1990, if a pump station sits within your property boundary, maintaining it is a legal duty, not just good practice. Industry guidance calls for servicing at least every six months. When did you last check yours?
