Drain Jetting in Falmouth
Falmouth's hospitality and rental sectors face accelerated drain wear: restaurants pump grease into surface water systems, HMOs overload foul sewers with high occupancy, and Anglian Water's hard water deposits limescale in pipes and shared risers. Drain maintenance contracts protect your rental income, avoid enforcement, and prevent costly emergency closures. We tailor quarterly or monthly schedules for Falmouth's property types in TR11–TR14.
Drain maintenance in Falmouth protects HMOs and restaurants from hard-water scale, grease buildup, and enforcement action. Quarterly inspections and jetting prevent costly emergency repairs. Falmouth's hard water (130–150 mg/L) makes descaling essential in commercial kitchens and shared risers.
Drainage in Falmouth — what local engineers know
Falmouth (Cornwall Council area) has a dense commercial core along the harbour (TR11) and growing residential estates in TR12–TR14. Anglian Water's hard-water supply (130–150 mg/L) requires annual descaling in commercial kitchens and shared plumbing across Falmouth. Falmouth's separate sewer means landlords and restaurants must track discharge responsibility; improper grease disposal can trigger Environment Agency enforcement. We manage contracts with 40+ Falmouth landlords and restaurant groups, handling jetting, inspection, and environmental compliance for TR11–TR14.
- Hard water supply causes limescale accumulation in boilers, radiators and soil pipe joints — powerflush and descaling demand is high across Falmouth
- Separate sewer system across most of Falmouth: misconnections (e.g. washing machines plumbed into surface water drains) are a known local issue and can result in environmental enforcement action
- Ageing infrastructure in parts of Falmouth means drain blockages from grease, wipes and root ingress remain the most common call-out reasons

Who's responsible for drains in Falmouth?
In Falmouth, responsibility for a blocked or damaged drain depends on where the fault sits. As a homeowner you are responsible for the drains within your property boundary that serve only your home. Since the 2011 private sewer transfer, Anglian Water is responsible for shared sewers and lateral drains beyond your boundary — even where they run under private land. Road gullies and highway drainage are maintained by Cornwall.
This matters because it determines who pays. If our engineer's CCTV inspection shows the fault is in a shared sewer, we'll tell you — and you can report it to Anglian Water rather than paying for the repair yourself. The separate sewer layout that dominates Falmouth affects where these boundaries typically fall, and our local engineers know the TR11, TR12, TR13 networks well enough to identify ownership quickly.
