Stonehaven is a historic harbour town set between dramatic coastal cliffs and rolling Aberdeenshire countryside. The old town around the harbour and Market Square features traditional stone-built properties with some of the oldest drainage systems in the area, including original clay pipes and stone-lined channels. The town's topography, with steep streets running down to the harbour, means drainage systems must handle significant changes in gradient. The newer residential areas on the higher ground south and west of the town centre have more modern infrastructure, but all properties in Stonehaven are exposed to the full force of North Sea weather. The Carron Water runs through the town and has caused flooding historically, particularly in the lower-lying areas. Scottish Water has invested in flood prevention, but private drainage maintenance remains essential for property owners.
A property owner near Stonehaven harbour contacted us after noticing sewage smells in the ground-floor rooms of their stone-built cottage. Our CCTV survey revealed multiple cracks in the original clay drainage pipe running beneath the property, allowing waste to seep into the surrounding ground. Given the challenging access beneath the stone floor, we used trenchless pipe relining to seal the damaged sections without any excavation inside the property. The smells disappeared immediately after the repair.
