Soakaway Replacement & Repairs in Ilminster
Soakaways divert excess water away from your property, preventing waterlogging, standing water and flooding. When they stop doing their job properly, you’ll usually notice pooling in the garden or water backing up somewhere it shouldn’t. We repair, maintain, replace and install soakaways, and we use industrial pressure washers to clear blockages when needed.
Septic Tank Emptying Ilminster
If your Ilminster property relies on a septic tank rather than the mains sewer, regular maintenance is essential. A standard 1,000-gallon septic tank generally needs emptying once a year to keep everything running as it should. We offer professional septic tank emptying, regular maintenance contracts, and thorough inspections to catch developing issues before they turn into expensive problems.

Blocked drains are our bread and butter. Whether it’s a stubborn kitchen sink, a blocked toilet, gullies filled with debris, or stack pipes that need attention, our team knows how to clear it. We use drain jetting, mechanical drain cleaning, and, where necessary, excavation methods to shift even the most difficult blockages. If you’ve tried the plunger and the shop-bought chemicals with no luck, it’s time to hand it over to us.
CCTV Drain Surveys Ilminster
Sometimes the trouble runs deeper than a simple clog, and that’s where a CCTV drain survey earns its keep. We insert a camera probe into the drainage system, and one of our engineers monitors what the camera captures in real time. It’s a minimally invasive method that lets us pinpoint cracks, collapsed pipework, blockages and obstructions without causing any additional damage. CCTV surveys are also a smart move if you’re buying a property in Ilminster and want to be sure there are no hidden drainage problems lurking below, or if you’re planning an extension and need to understand the layout of your drains.
Dedicated Drain Repairs in Ilminster
Cracked, corroded or collapsed drains don’t always mean a huge, disruptive excavation. We offer drain relining to fix damage without digging up your garden, along with pipe replacement using low-disruption methods like impact moling. If you’re working on a new development or a home improvement project in Ilminster, we can install new drainage systems too.
Sewage Treatment Plant Installation & Servicing
As accredited Klargester installers, we supply, fit and maintain the full Klargester range for homes and businesses across Ilminster and the surrounding areas. If your property isn’t connected to mains drainage, a sewage treatment plant is a reliable, low-maintenance way to treat wastewater on site to a standard that meets current Environment Agency regulations. Whether you’re replacing a failing septic tank or fitting out a new build, we’ll select the right unit for your property and handle the whole job from survey to commissioning.
