Ditches and drains are important water courses for managing excess surface water and preventing flooding, however they often slow flows of water and prolonged dry periods make them vulnerable to encroachment from marginal and terrestrial plants and the accumulations of silt, all of which reduce capacity.
Most drains and ditches need periodic clearing whether this be stringent vegetation clearance or de-silting. These activities ensure that the ditch is better placed to cope with drainage of water from the surrounding land.
AquaServe UK provide a full clearance service and undertake emergency clearance to assist in water management during and after flooding.
AquaServe UK holds a waste carrier licence and can transport any waste from the ditch directly to an appropriate authorised waste handling facility.
