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.


Signs You Might Have Groundwater Infiltration


Contact Flux Sewer Ltd if you notice:


  • Pumps running more frequently than usual

  • Tanks filling faster than normal

  • Wet patches around inspection chambers or drains

  • Slow or blocked drains in your property


Early detection is critical to prevent expensive drainage repairs.


Professional Groundwater Infiltration Solutions


At Flux Sewer Ltd, we specialise in solving groundwater infiltration problems using modern, non-disruptive methods:
