Sewer and Stormwater Drainage Specialists
Sewer and stormwater systems perform different jobs, but both are essential to the safe and effective operation of a property. Sewer drainage carries wastewater away from toilets, bathrooms, laundries and kitchens, while stormwater systems move rainwater away from roofs, hard surfaces, yards and outdoor areas.
When either system is blocked, damaged or not flowing correctly, the result can be messy and expensive. Cannondale Contracting provides practical sewer and stormwater services across Marlborough, including drain unblocking, pipe repairs, CCTV camera inspections, pipe locating and no-dig repair options where suitable.
Sewer and stormwater problems can quickly become disruptive
A blocked sewer line can create unpleasant odours, hygiene concerns and wastewater overflow, while a blocked or damaged stormwater system can cause surface flooding, ponding and water damage around a property. With qualified drain layers, specialist equipment and local experience, Cannondale Contracting helps residential, commercial and rural property owners resolve these issues properly.
Our team can assist with:

Sewer Drainage Problems
Sewer drainage issues should never be ignored. If wastewater is slow to drain, backing up or causing odours, there may be a blockage or damaged pipe somewhere in the system. These issues can affect toilets, showers, basins, kitchen sinks, laundries and outdoor gully traps.
Common sewer drainage problems include blockages caused by foreign objects, wipes, grease build-up, tree roots, pipe damage, collapsed sections or incorrect pipe fall. In some cases, a sewer line may appear to clear temporarily before blocking again because the underlying fault has not been repaired.
Cannondale Contracting can assess sewer drainage issues and clear blockages using specialist equipment. If the problem appears to be caused by damaged pipework, we can inspect the line and recommend the right repair approach.
Stormwater Drainage Problems
Stormwater systems are designed to move rainwater away from buildings and outdoor areas. When these systems are blocked or damaged, water may pool around driveways, paths, gardens, lawns, yards or building foundations.
Blocked stormwater drains are often caused by leaves, silt, stones, sediment, roots, debris or damaged pipe sections. During heavy rain, a restricted stormwater system can quickly become overwhelmed, creating flooding risks and property damage.
Cannondale Contracting provides stormwater drainage services in Marlborough for homes, businesses and rural properties. We can clear blocked lines, inspect stormwater pipes, locate problem areas and repair damaged sections where needed. For general public information about stormwater in the region, the Marlborough District Council stormwater FAQs are a useful local reference.
CCTV Inspections for Sewer and Stormwater Systems
When the cause of a drainage issue is not obvious, CCTV camera inspections can provide a clearer view inside the pipe. This allows us to identify blockages, root intrusion, cracked sections, displaced joins, collapsed pipework, sediment build-up and other faults without unnecessary digging.
CCTV inspections are especially useful when sewer or stormwater problems keep returning. A pipe may have been cleared before, but if roots, cracks or structural damage remain, the same issue can come back. By inspecting the inside of the pipe, Cannondale Contracting can give practical advice based on what is actually happening underground.
Pipe Locating Before Repairs
Sewer and stormwater pipes are often underground and may not be clearly marked on older property plans. Pipe locating helps identify where the pipe runs and where the problem may be positioned. This is useful before excavation, repairs, drainage upgrades or new work on existing properties.
Accurate pipe locating can reduce unnecessary disruption and make repair work more efficient. It can also help property owners better understand the layout of their drainage system.
Repairs for Damaged Sewer and Stormwater Pipes
Damaged pipes can lead to repeated blockages, leaks, odours, ground movement, poor drainage and property damage. Cannondale Contracting can assess damaged sewer and stormwater pipework and carry out practical repairs to restore flow and protect the drainage system.
Depending on the condition of the pipe, the location of the damage and available access, repair options may include targeted excavation or no-dig pipe repair methods where suitable. Our team will recommend an approach that fits the site and the nature of the problem.
