Drainage challenges specific to York
The Ouse and the Foss flood regularly, and riverside areas like Clementhorpe, Fulford and Huntington see repeated surcharge and groundwater ingress. The historic centre mixes Victorian, Georgian and even older drainage beneath listed buildings and narrow snickelways, so no-dig lining and careful access are usually essential rather than open excavation.
Because our engineers work York every week, they arrive knowing the local ground around the rivers Ouse and Foss and the most likely cause before they lift a cover.
