  • Drainage Services for Holiday Parks Cornwall & Devon

Drainage for holiday parks isn't standard commercial work. High turnover, shared facilities, seasonal spikes, and off-mains systems create pressure points that fail at the worst possible time, costing you bookings, reviews, and revenue.

Clear Stream Drainage Solutions provides dedicated support for holiday parks, caravan parks, campsites, and glamping sites across Cornwall and Devon. Based in Falmouth, we offer 24/7 response with a 1-2 hour callout window, fixed transparent pricing, no call-out fees, and a 5-year repair guarantee.

    Why Holiday Parks Need Specialist Drainage Support

    Holiday parks operate on a completely different cycle to most commercial properties. From Easter through October, guest numbers can surge from a handful of off-season visitors to full capacity almost overnight, and the drainage infrastructure beneath every shower block, amenity building, and commercial kitchen has to keep up.

    Many parks weren't built for the loads they now carry. Ageing pipework, undersized septic tanks, and shared drainage runs serving static caravans, touring pitches, cottages, and glamping pods all create points of weakness, and a failure anywhere can affect the entire site.

    The risks are real and costly:

    • Blocked communal drains on changeover day disrupt arrivals and generate complaints
    • A failing sewage treatment plant in August means cancellations and negative reviews
    • Non-compliant off-mains drainage can trigger enforcement action and fines
    • Repeated emergency callouts eat into margins that planned maintenance would protect

    Reactive drainage management is a gamble that gets more expensive every season. That's why a growing number of holiday park operators across Cornwall and Devon work with a specialist drainage partner to keep systems performing reliably all year round.

    Our Drainage Services for Holiday Parks and Leisure Sites

    Clear Stream offers a full range of drainage services built around the specific demands of holiday parks and leisure sites across Cornwall and Devon. From emergency callouts to planned year-round maintenance, every service is designed to minimise disruption to your guests and keep your site operating smoothly.

    Emergency Drain Unblocking

    Blocked drains are the most common drainage issue on holiday parks, especially during changeover days and peak occupancy weekends. When a shower block backs up on a Saturday morning in August, you need an engineer on site fast, not next week.

    Clear Stream provides 24/7 emergency drain unblocking using high-pressure jetting to clear blockages quickly and with minimal disruption to guests. Our vans arrive fully equipped, so there’s no waiting around for parts or return visits.

    CCTV Drain Surveys

    A pre-season CCTV drain survey is one of the smartest investments a park operator can make. Our engineers inspect your drainage network before guests arrive, identifying problems while they're still manageable:

    • Cracked or damaged pipes
    • Root ingress restricting flow
    • Blockage buildup in shared drainage runs
    • Collapsed sections requiring repair

    Every survey comes with a detailed report your management team can use for budgeting, maintenance planning, or insurance claims. Surveys are also essential for new site acquisitions or planning applications where drainage condition data is required.

    Commercial Drain Jetting Services in Cornwall

    Many holiday parks have ageing pipework that needs repair but can’t afford the disruption of excavation. Digging up pitches, landscaping, and guest access routes mid-season isn’t an option.

    No-dig drain relining repairs damaged pipes from the inside without breaking ground. It’s faster, less disruptive, and all work is backed by our 5-year guarantee. For park operators, it means essential repairs completed with minimal impact on guests or site operations.

    Find out more about drain relining.

    Septic Tank and Cesspit Maintenance

    Many holiday parks across Cornwall and Devon operate off-mains drainage, relying on septic tanks, cesspits, or sewage treatment plants. These systems need regular emptying, inspection, and maintenance to stay compliant and functional, particularly under the heavy seasonal load of a busy park.

    General binding rules require that off-mains systems are properly maintained and not causing pollution. Clear Stream provides scheduled servicing tailored to your site's capacity and seasonal demand, so compliance is handled and nothing gets missed.

    Visit our septic tank maintenance page for more information.

    Pipe Descaling

    Hard water areas across Cornwall and Devon cause limescale buildup that gradually restricts flow. On established holiday parks with older pipe networks, this is a common issue that worsens over time.

    Pipe descaling restores full capacity and extends the lifespan of your existing pipework, avoiding the cost of premature replacement.

    Learn more about our pipe descaling service.

    Planned Drainage Maintenance for Holiday Parks

    This is where proactive park operators gain the biggest advantage. A tailored drainage maintenance plan built around your park's calendar means problems are caught and resolved before they affect guests.

    A typical plan includes:

    • Pre-season inspections to identify and fix issues before opening
    • Mid-season check-ins to keep high-use systems performing under load
    • Post-season deep cleans to clear the network and prepare for winter

    Maintenance plans can cover every drainage touchpoint on your site: pitch drainage, communal facilities, grease traps from commercial kitchens, surface water systems, and septic tanks or treatment plants.

    Scheduled maintenance costs a fraction of emergency callouts, protects the guest experience, and extends the life of your drainage infrastructure.

    Types of Leisure Sites We Work With

    Clear Stream provides drainage services across the full range of leisure and holiday accommodation sites in Cornwall and Devon. Every site type brings different drainage requirements, and our engineers have experience working with all of them.

    Large parks with permanent pitch connections, shared drainage runs, and high-capacity amenity blocks. Drainage networks on these sites are extensive and require regular maintenance to handle seasonal demand.

    Variable occupancy means drainage systems need to cope with unpredictable loads. Pitch drainage, waste disposal points, and shared facilities all require reliable upkeep.

    Simpler drainage setups, but communal shower blocks and toilet facilities still handle heavy use during peak months. Surface water drainage is often a key concern on rural sites.

    Often developed on land with limited existing drainage infrastructure. Many glamping sites rely on off-mains systems or temporary setups that need specialist attention to remain compliant and functional.

    Multiple self-catering units sharing drainage connections and, in many cases, a single septic tank or treatment plant. Blockages in one property can quickly affect neighbouring units

     Individual properties with high guest turnover and frequent misuse of drainage systems. Regular inspection and maintenance prevents recurring callout costs.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Most holiday parks require a combination of emergency drain unblocking, CCTV drain surveys, septic tank maintenance, drain relining, pipe descaling, and planned maintenance. The exact requirements depend on site size, age of infrastructure, and accommodation type.

    At a minimum, we recommend a pre-season inspection and a post-season deep clean. Larger parks or sites with commercial kitchens benefit from mid-season check-ins as well. A tailored maintenance plan is the most cost-effective way to stay on top of it.

    The most common causes are guest misuse (wipes, grease, foreign objects), seasonal debris like leaves and soil runoff, root ingress into ageing pipes, and systems becoming overwhelmed during peak occupancy. Clear Stream fixes and prevents these issues through reactive and planned services.

    Yes. We operate 24/7, 365 days a year across Cornwall and Devon. Our engineers respond within a 1-2 hour window, vans arrive fully equipped, and there are no call-out fees.
