Inverurie is a thriving market town on the River Don, approximately 16 miles north-west of Aberdeen. The town has experienced significant growth in recent decades, with large new housing developments surrounding a historic town centre. The older properties in the centre and along the main streets typically have Victorian-era drainage systems with clay pipes, while the newer estates feature modern plastic pipework. The town's location on the River Don floodplain means that some areas are susceptible to flooding during periods of heavy rainfall, and properties in lower-lying areas such as Port Elphinstone have historically been affected. The mix of old and new drainage infrastructure means that capacity issues can arise where modern developments connect to older sewer mains. Nearby Kintore has also grown rapidly, sharing similar drainage characteristics.
We were called to a Victorian property in Inverurie town centre where multiple drains had backed up simultaneously during heavy rain. Our investigation revealed that tree roots from a mature sycamore in the neighbouring garden had infiltrated the main drainage run at a displaced joint. We used high-pressure jetting to clear the root mass, then applied a sectional pipe reline to seal the joint and prevent regrowth. The entire job was completed within a day without any disruption to the neighbouring property.
