A Smannell drainage engineer,
on call 24/7 with a clear price before we start.

Smannell is a small rural village sitting just north of Andover in the SP10 postcode, about three miles from the town centre. It's mostly older cottage-style housing and a handful of converted farm buildings, with some more recent infill development on the edges. The drainage work we get called to out here tends to be blocked drains from root ingress, failed septic tanks and soakaways that can't cope after heavy rain. It's quiet, spread out, and not the sort of place where problems fix themselves.

We come out on the Andover to Smannell road heading north, usually a ten-minute run from our yard depending on traffic through Andover itself. The housing stock is a mix of ages, and a good portion of it relies on private drainage rather than mains sewer, which means septic tank issues are common. Mature trees line many of the field boundaries and garden edges, and root intrusion into older clay and concrete pipe runs is something we see regularly. The low-lying ground in parts of the village doesn't drain freely, and that catches people out every winter.

Most common Smannell jobs

• Septic tank emptying and inspection on properties off mains sewer
• Root ingress cleared from clay pipe runs using high-pressure jetting
• Soakaway failure assessment after prolonged wet weather
• Blocked kitchen and bathroom drains in older cottage properties
• CCTV survey to find cracked or displaced joints in aging pipework
