Drainage Services in Dollar
Curran Drainage Services is a family-run team working across Dollar and the rest of Clackmannanshire, handling drainage services for homeowners, landlords and businesses. Confined-space and high-pressure jetting tickets are held by every engineer on the vans.
Bottom line: one call gets a local engineer to Dollar, day or night, with the kit to finish most drainage services visits in one go. Camera evidence supplied on request at no extra cost.
How we do the work in Dollar
Jetting pressure is dialled to the pipe: full bore on cast iron and vitrified clay, backed right off on thin-wall plastic common in newer Dollar housing. Older and newer property in Dollar fail in different ways, and the fix follows the cause.
Everything is left flushed through and tested with running water before we pack the van. That keeps the price for Dollar the same as anywhere else on our patch.
Local knowledge in Dollar
Dollar's larger period properties tend to have extensive private drainage and mature trees — a classic combination for root ingress.
Farm tracks and heavy vehicle access crush shallow pipework, which shows up as recurring blockages at the same point. That pattern repeats often enough across Dollar for us to check it first.
On large period properties and extensive private drainage the access chambers are usually where you would expect; on mature-tree gardens they very often are not. We plan Dollar jobs around it rather than treating every drain as identical.
Letting agents and factors book us here as often as period homeowners do, particularly around Dollar High Street. Nothing about the location changes the rate you are quoted.
Dollar sits close to the A91, so even out-of-hours call-outs are a quick run for us. Either way, arrival times to Dollar are given honestly rather than optimistically.
We treat Dollar — some 8 miles out from Alloa — as a core area rather than an outlying one. Either way, arrival times to Dollar are given honestly rather than optimistically.

Dollar drainage FAQs
What does drainage services cost in Dollar?
Price depends on what we find, so we agree it with you before any work starts. There is never a charge for turning up in Dollar, and we will tell you if the job is smaller than you feared. It is worth mentioning when you describe the problem to us.
Is the drain my responsibility or Scottish Water's?
Anything inside your boundary is normally yours; the shared sewer beyond it is not. On Dollar jobs we camera the run so you can see exactly where the fault sits before anyone pays for it. There is no charge for the advice either way.
Do you provide a written report for Dollar landlords and factors?
We do — photographs, camera footage and a plain-English summary of the cause, which is usually what a factor or insurer needs before agreeing a Clackmannanshire shared cost. Ring 07427 195142 if you want that checked before booking.
What should I do before you arrive in Dollar?
Stop using water in the property if it is backing up, clear access to the chamber if you can find it, and take a photo of the overflow — it helps us bring the right kit to Dollar first time. It is worth mentioning when you describe the problem to us.
Do you cover both domestic and commercial work?
Yes — homeowners, landlords, factors, hospitality, retail and commercial sites.
Are you insured?
Yes. We carry £5 million public liability insurance and hold NRSWA, high pressure water jetting and confined spaces credentials.
How quickly can you get to me?
We operate 24/7 across West Lothian, Edinburgh, Falkirk, Lanarkshire and Fife and aim to attend urgent work the same day.
