Our approach in Sale
We survey Sale properties thoroughly, with particular attention to pipe gradients given the area's flat terrain. Reports highlight any areas where inadequate fall may be contributing to drainage problems.
Local tip: Planning an extension on your Sale property? Commission a CCTV survey first — the Mersey floodplain's high water table means drainage diversions need careful planning.
