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

Overton sits in the Test Valley about 8 miles west of central Basingstoke, just into RG25. It's a proper village, not a dormitory estate, with a mix of older stone and brick cottages in the centre, some interwar semis, and newer builds on the edges. Most of the drainage calls we get here involve ageing clay pipework under the older properties, plus the occasional blocked drain from the surrounding rural roads bringing mud and debris in after wet weather.

We come in on the B3400 through Whitchurch Road, which gives you a good sense of how the village sits in a shallow river valley. The Test runs close by, which means the ground stays damp and some of the older gardens have persistent drainage problems. The central streets carry Victorian and Edwardian stock with original clay pipe runs, shared gullies, and root ingress from mature trees is a genuine issue here. The newer cul-de-sacs on the periphery are generally fine, but the old core is where we earn our money.

Most common Overton jobs

• Clearing root ingress from clay joints under older cottage gardens
• CCTV surveys on shared lateral drains before property sales go through
• Blocked gullies on rural approach roads after heavy rain brings in silt and leaf debris
• Unblocking kitchen and bathroom waste pipes in interwar semis with original pipework layouts
• Investigating slow drainage traced back to a collapsed clay section under a driveway
