Are your pumps running too often? Is your tank filling unusually fast? These could be signs of groundwater infiltration, a common issue that can overload drainage systems and cause property damage. Flux Sewer Ltd provides expert groundwater infiltration solutions, including CCTV surveys, gel injection repairs, and pipe relays, across Plymouth, Truro, Falmouth, Exeter, Plympton, and surrounding towns.
What is Groundwater Infiltration?
Groundwater infiltration occurs when water from the surrounding soil enters your drainage system through:
Cracked or damaged pipes
Poorly sealed joints in pump stations or septic tanks
High water tables or heavy rainfall
Incorrect pipe gradients or failing soakaways
Left untreated, it can lead to:
Overloaded pump stations
Blocked or overflowing drains
Flooded yards or basements
Accelerated pipe deterioration
Local homeowners and businesses in Devon & Cornwall often encounter these issues after heavy rain or in areas with old drainage systems.

Contact Flux Sewer Ltd if you notice:
Pumps running more frequently than usual

Slow or blocked drains in your property
Early detection is critical to prevent expensive drainage repairs.
