Flood-Prone Areas in Gloucestershire and How to Protect Your Drains
Cotswold Drain Services Ltd

Parts of Gloucestershire are more vulnerable to flooding, especially during periods of heavy or prolonged rainfall. Flooding can place additional strain on drainage systems and increase the risk of blockages, backups, and property damage.
To help protect your drains, we recommend:
- Keeping external drains and gullies free from leaves and debris
- Avoiding flushing wipes, grease, and non-degradable items
- Ensuring septic tanks are emptied regularly
- Arranging a CCTV drain inspection if flooding or backups occur repeatedly
Preventative drainage maintenance plays an important role in reducing flood-related issues.
Identifying and resolving minor problems early can help protect your property during extreme weather.
If you’re concerned about flooding or ongoing drainage problems, Cotswold Drain Service provides expert drainage support across Gloucestershire.
