Local Drainage Profile in Alva
Because CB Drainage operates just four miles south in Alloa, Alva is right on our doorstep. From the steep gradients descending from the Ochil Hills along the Alva Glen down to the lower residential streets near the A91, drainage systems in this part of Clackmannanshire encounter distinct operating challenges.
Ochil Water Runoff
High elevations cause rapid storm water accumulation during heavy rainfall. This puts immense hydrostatic pressure on private gullies, soakaways, and surface water catchments, especially where sediment from the hillside washes down into street-level traps.
Historic Mill Cottages & Clay Lines
Properties constructed during the textile boom around Queen Street and Stirling Street frequently rely on vitrified clay drainage. These aging joints are susceptible to displacement, silt siltation, and sub-surface fractures caused by decades of settlement.
Narrow Access & Tight Lanes
Older avenues and hillside wynds can be awkward for oversized industrial fleet tankers. Our specialist vehicle is configured to negotiate restricted Clackmannanshire streets while carrying full high-pressure jetting and CCTV inspection machinery.
On-site diagnostics: High-definition camera inspection verifies the exact point of collapse, tree root ingress, or obstruction before any work begins.

Detailed underground camera inspections identifying recurring blockages, root ingress, or pipe fractures, essential for pre-purchase property transactions.
High-Pressure Water Jetting
WJA-accredited hydro-jetting safely strips heavy fat, grease, silt, and scale accumulation from internal walls to restore full pipe flow capacity.

Local Scottish Water & SEPA Compliance
Unsure where your responsibility ends and Scottish Water begins? In Alva, private homeowners are responsible for pipes within their property boundary serving only their home. We help you identify whether a defect sits within your private curtilage or belongs to the public sewer network, and ensure any works adhere strictly to Scottish Environmental Protection Agency (SEPA) and Clackmannanshire Council regulations.
