Dollar drainage, in plain terms
Dollar's larger period properties tend to have extensive private drainage and mature trees — a classic combination for root ingress.
Septic tanks and treatment plants need different handling to mains drainage, and we treat them as such. Where that is the case, a camera before quoting saves money rather than adding to the bill.
Depth of the run is the practical difference between large period properties and extensive private drainage here — it decides whether rods or a jetter go down first. It is one of the reasons Dollar work is rarely a straight rod-and-go.
Letting agents and factors book us here as often as period homeowners do, particularly around Dollar High Street. Hose reach is around 60 metres from the van, which covers all but the longest runs.
We reach Dollar on the A91, so vans are rarely far away. We load the van for the job described, not a generic call-out.
Distance is not the constraint in Dollar — 8 miles from Alloa is a routine run for us on the A91. Dollar sits in the round we cover daily, so this is routine rather than a special trip.
Plumbing emergencies do damage by the minute. We attend day or night, make the situation safe, and carry out the repair rather than just isolating and leaving.
The first job on a burst is stopping the water — we will talk you to your stopcock on the phone before we arrive. Older and newer property in Dollar fail in different ways, and the fix follows the cause.
