Your local drainage team in Hull
Kingston upon Hull is one of the lowest-lying cities in the UK — much of it sits at or below high-tide level — which makes it one of the most drainage-critical places we work. Our Hull engineers deal with this every day.

Drainage challenges specific to Hull
Hull relies heavily on pumped land drainage and tidal outfalls because gravity alone can't move water away; when pumps or drains are compromised, flooding follows fast, as the devastating 2007 floods showed. The high water table means any damaged pipe quickly takes on groundwater and silt, and surcharge/backflow protection is routinely needed.
Because our engineers work Hull every week, they arrive knowing the local ground around the Humber Estuary and the River Hull and the most likely cause before they lift a cover.
