Drainage Contractors Across the North West

At Basetec, we know that no building project is complete without the right drainage in place. Poor drainage can quickly lead to water build-up, subsidence and long-term structural issues. That’s why we offer professional drainage services alongside our piling and foundation work, so your project is protected from the ground up.

Whether you need land drainage for waterlogged ground, property drainage for extensions or new builds, or full foul water and surface water systems, our team provides reliable, long-lasting solutions across Greater Manchester, Lancashire, Cheshire, Merseyside and Cumbria.

Why Drainage Matters

Effective drainage protects your property and foundations by:

• Preventing standing water and flooding.
• Reducing pressure on soil and sub-structures.
• Controlling run-off to comply with building regulations.
• Protecting foundations from long-term water damage.

Because we specialise in piling and foundations, we understand how drainage ties directly into the stability of your structure. From the first trench to the final inspection, we make sure drainage is planned and installed properly.

Our Drainage Services

We cover all aspects of domestic, commercial and industrial drainage:

• Land drainage – solving waterlogged gardens, fields and sites.
• Property drainage – connections to main sewers, new build systems and extension drainage.
• Surface water management – channels, gullies and soakaways to control run-off.
• Foul drainage systems – full installation of foul water drains and inspection chambers.
• Tanks and attenuation – installation of septic tanks, soakaway systems, oil separators and pump chambers.
• Site preparation – excavation, trenching and clearance carried out by our groundwork team.
