Complete Drainage Installation for Self-Builds Near Arundel
2 min readArundelBy AA Drainage
Self-building near Arundel is an exciting project, but drainage often catches people out. Here is how a complete drainage installation usually runs.
1. Survey and design
We review the plans, find any existing drains and sewers, and check whether the site is on mains drainage or needs an off-mains system.
2. Groundworks
On site we:
- Excavate trenches to the right depth and fall
- Lay and bed pipework
- Build inspection chambers
- Install soakaways, treatment plants or connections
3. Testing and sign-off
Drains are tested before backfilling, and Building Control can inspect at key stages. We keep records and photographs for your files.
