Ellon is an expanding town on the River Ythan, approximately 16 miles north of Aberdeen. The town has grown considerably with new housing developments on its eastern and western edges, while the original town centre retains older stone-built properties with traditional drainage systems. The River Ythan has historically caused localised flooding in the town, and properties near the river require well-maintained drainage to cope with high water table conditions. The newer housing estates generally have modern drainage with separate surface water and foul water systems, but connections to older combined sewers in the centre can create capacity issues during heavy rainfall. Ellon's growing population means that the local drainage infrastructure is under increasing demand, making regular maintenance particularly important for older properties.
A homeowner in Ellon contacted us after persistent slow drainage from their bathroom. Previous plumbing work had not resolved the issue. Our CCTV survey discovered that a section of the underground drainage had been incorrectly installed with an insufficient fall, causing waste to pool and solidify in the pipe. We excavated the affected section, re-laid the pipe with the correct gradient, and restored the garden surface. The drainage has worked perfectly since the repair.
