Inverkeithing drainage, in plain terms
Inverkeithing's older harbour-side housing sits on ageing combined drainage that struggles during heavy rainfall.
Tidal and high water-table conditions slow outfalls, so drains here back up in weather that inland streets shrug off. It changes which tool comes off the van first, and that is usually what decides how long a job takes.
Depth of the run is the practical difference between harbour-side older housing and combined drainage here — it decides whether rods or a jetter go down first. It changes which tool comes off the van first, and that is usually what decides how long a job takes.
Inverkeithing work splits between homeowners, industrial units, and we cover Hillend and Donibristle estate as part of the same round. That keeps the price for Inverkeithing the same as anywhere else on our patch.
