On the ground in Fauldhouse
Fauldhouse sits high and wet on the southern edge of West Lothian, where surface water and silt cause more blockages than anything that happens inside the house.
High, exposed ground and heavy rainfall push a lot of surface water and silt into gullies that were never sized for it. Two properties on the same street can still need completely different approaches.
Pipe diameter and fall differ noticeably between upland former mining housing and exposed surface water runs in Fauldhouse, so we size the jetting nozzle to the property, not the postcode. Two properties on the same street can still need completely different approaches.

Fauldhouse drainage FAQs
How long does a typical Fauldhouse visit take?
A straightforward clearance is usually under an hour. A survey of a full run takes longer because we record the footage properly. Either way you are told the likely duration before we set off for EH47. We are happy to talk it through on the phone first.
Do you guarantee the work?
Yes. If the same fault returns within the guarantee period we come back to Fauldhouse at no charge — and if the cause is structural we will have flagged that on the first visit rather than after it. We are happy to talk it through on the phone first.
Can you find the drain if I do not know where the chamber is?
That is routine. We trace the run with a camera and sonde, mark the chamber position, and leave you with a note of where it sits — useful information for any future Fauldhouse owner. We will put the answer in writing if you need it for a third party.
Is a CCTV survey worth it before buying in Fauldhouse?
Where the property is older or has mature trees close to the boundary, yes. Steep falls move water fast but also drag grit into the low points, so silting is the usual culprit rather than blockage material. A survey costs a fraction of an unexpected excavation. Ask when you call and we will confirm it for your address.
How long does a no-dig repair last?
A correctly installed liner is a structural repair with a design life measured in decades.
Will you need access to my garden?
Only to the chambers. The repair is carried out through the existing access points.
Can every drain be lined?
No. Fully collapsed or badly deformed pipe needs excavation, and we confirm that with CCTV before quoting.
