Drainage, Pump Stations & Septic Tanks in Bordon

Pump stations, septic tanks, treatment plants and drains looked after in Whitehill & Bordon, its new estates and the villages around it.

Whitehill & Bordon has changed enormously since the army left. Former military land has been turned into new homes, a new town centre and employment space, and much more is planned. New developments like these often come with private pump stations and drainage that a management company, rather than the water company, has to look after.

Around the town, the picture is more rural. Villages like Headley, Kingsley, Oakhanger and Standford have homes and farms on septic tanks, cesspits and treatment plants. The ground is largely sandy heathland, which drains freely, but there are wetter, clay patches too, so no two sites are quite the same.

We look after both: pump stations and drains on the new estates, and private drainage in the villages. Our tankers and engineers are in Hampshire most days and we answer the phone 24 hours a day.

What we do for Bordon customers

01

Pump stations on new developments

New estates often rely on pump stations that stay private until, or unless, the water company adopts them. We service them for management companies and residents’ groups, testing the pumps, floats, alarms and control panels and cleaning the wet well, and we come out 24/7 if one fails.

Septic tanks and cesspits in the villages

We empty septic tanks and cesspits for homes and farms around Bordon and check the tank while we’re there. On sandy ground the drainage field usually copes well, as long as solids are kept out of it by regular emptying.

Treatment plant servicing and repairs

Treatment plants need servicing at least once a year. Our engineers check and clean the plant, test the blower and pumps, carry the most common parts and repair it if anything has failed.

Blocked drains and CCTV surveys

We clear blocked drains with high-pressure jetting and survey problem pipes with CCTV. On new builds, a survey can also show whether a drain was damaged or badly laid during construction.

Local knowledge

Drainage around Bordon: what to know

A town in the middle of big changes, surrounded by heathland villages.

New homes, private drains

On new developments, check whether your drains and pump station have been adopted by the water company. If not, the management company is responsible for them.

Sandy heathland

Much of the area is on sandy ground that drains well, which suits soakaways. Wetter clay pockets can behave very differently.

New-build snagging

If your new home’s drains block early on, a CCTV survey can show whether debris was left in them or a pipe was damaged during building.

What our customers say

★★★★★

Very professional operation. Super clean tanker. Responded quickly to quote and booking requests. Arrived on time. Kept us notified throughout. Very pleasant and helpful guy operating the equipment. Gave sound advice with ongoing maintenance tips. Will definitely be saving Clearmasters' contact details to use them again.

★★★★★

Clearmasters have emptied our Septic Tank for many years. It is not an easy placed tank to get to but the chaps manage perfectly. I find them very efficient, friendly and polite. Thank you Valerie Wise

Valerie W. Google review
★★★★★

So glad we found them. The team was professional, courteous and helpful. They came the next day and pricing is way more competitive than a national chain. Will be using them again in a year's time to service the pump. Thanks again!

How it works

What happens when you book

The same simple process for every job.

  1. Step 1

    Tell us what you’ve got

    Call us or book online and tell us what you need. Management companies: let us know how many pump stations or sites you look after and we’ll suggest a service plan.

  2. Step 2

    We come out and do the job

    We send a tanker, a jetting van or a service engineer. It helps if:

    • there’s room to park a tanker close to the tank, trap or manhole
    • lids, covers and hatches are clear and easy to find
    • you tell us about narrow access, gates or site rules before we arrive
  3. Step 3

    Paperwork and the next visit

    You get a waste transfer note for anything we take away, and a written report after a survey or service. If it’s a regular job, we’ll remind you when the next one is due.

Questions answered

Bordon drainage and septic tank FAQs

What residents, management companies and homeowners around Bordon ask us most.

Has the water company adopted my estate’s pump station?

Not always. Many pump stations on new developments stay private for some time, or permanently. Your management company or developer should be able to tell you, and it’s often in your purchase paperwork.

How often should a pump station be serviced?

Most need servicing at least once or twice a year, depending on size and how many homes it serves. Regular servicing catches worn pumps and sticking floats before they cause a flood.

My new-build drains keep blocking. Why?

Sometimes building debris is left in the pipes, or a pipe is damaged or laid at the wrong fall. A CCTV survey will show what’s wrong, and the report can support a claim with the builder.

Do you empty septic tanks in Headley and Kingsley?

Yes. We empty septic tanks and cesspits and service treatment plants throughout the villages around Bordon.

Does sandy soil help a septic tank?

It helps the drainage field, because water soaks away more easily. The tank still needs regular emptying, or solids will clog the field eventually.

Do you respond to pump station alarms at night?

Yes. We answer 24 hours a day. Call 03333 233566, cut back on water use, and we’ll tell you when we can be there.
