Housing Association Drainage Works

Maryhill Housing is a charitable, community-based housing association operating in Maryhill and Ruchill in north west Glasgow. Here at DAMM Environmental we’ve been working with Maryhill Housing for a number of years now, providing their tenants with a wide range of environmental services whenever they need assistance.

Maryhill Housing’s main role is to improve, build, manage and maintain homes. (In 2017 they celebrated their 40th anniversary, and they undertake a significant amount of regeneration activity to ensure Maryhill and Ruchill are great places to live.)

Maryhill Housing own over 3,100 homes including tenements, retirement housing and multi-storey apartments. Most properties are for rent, but they also develop some homes for shared equity. In addition to these services, they provide a factoring service for around 700 properties.

Here at DAMM Environmental we’ve worked both internally and externally in a wide range of MH’s housing – from clearing blocked drains, which can involve pipeline camera surveys and excavation works, to utilising out Jet-Vac units to help unblock bin chutes and remove stagnant flood water. Our fleet of HPWJ units have pressures ranging from 1,500 psi up to an incredible 30,000 psi, providing the widest range of pressure and flows possible to tackle any job. Our Jet-Vac units also have powerful on-board vacuum systems which ensure that all debris and expelled water is safely collected and removed. This combination of High Pressure Water Jetting and powerful vacuum tankers makes for the perfect solution for sewer and pipeline cleaning and pipe descaling. High Pressure Water Jetting can also be used for a wide variety of cleaning applications including, graffiti and paint removal, carpark, footpath and entrance cleaning and general industrial cleaning.

DAMM developed the standardised safety qualifications for High Pressure Water Jetting work, and we guarantee that our operatives are trained to the highest standards, completing quality work whilst adhering to strict health and safety protocols. We have the right equipment, experience, and accreditation for any High Pressure Water Jetting (HPWJ) work. Get in touch today to find out more about our High Pressure Water Jetting & Vacuum fleet, and services.

We used a core drill to gain access to the plastic downpipe at the rear of this MH property. We then activated the HPWJ unit to jet upstream towards the roof and removed some debris from the line. When jetting towards the roof, we found that the bend at the gutter was leaking, and advised a plumber might be required to renew the bend at the gutter if the problem reoccurs. We then used denzol tape to seal the pipe after the job was completed.

What our clients say

Over the past year DAMM have carried out numerous jobs for the service – from drainage jobs and CCTV surveys to civils works – and I couldn’t be more delighted with the outcome of the works. The knowledge, expertise and professionalism shown on each and every job is second to none, not to mention the continual focus on safety.

Barry Hollas @ Scottish Fire & Rescue Service

We had a drainage issue caused by works done. Sincere thanks to the DAMM team who were on site last night, to their credit they put a shift in to get the issue resolved. Genuine life savers. Please pass on my gratitude!

Tony Woods

DAMM Environmental have carried out full drainage cleaning works and civils for me over the last few years. It’s been a great working relationship. They have great help desk and on-site team. Online reporting is clear and precise, and this really helps show clients clear reports and works carried out. Quick turnaround on quotes and works when required.

Edward McGeown, Regional Facilities Manager @ Workman LLP

This firm is the best – kind, courteous and efficient.

Robert Neeson

DAMM have been assisting and undertaking Civils works at River Garden. This project involves multiple phases of civils works across multiple projects with residents living on-site, and public access to our social enterprise cafe. Across all aspects of this very challenging site DAMM have demonstrated a ‘can-do’ attitude and proven to be extremely responsive, helpful, collaborative and professional.

Roy Malcolm, G1 Architects

Highly recommend this company. Quick to respond and resolve our issue. Very polite, professional and knowledgeable. Great customer service.

Julie K Fisher

A great job and an extremely quick and efficient service provided by DAMM after an emergency left us requiring a lot of water removed. Any request was no trouble for the staff on site or from the office to accommodate. I would certainly recommend.

Fiona Paton

Excellent service from the two guys that came out to unblock my drain! I’d previously paid another company £250 for a call out, and they never fixed it – said I needed a tanker at a cost of £700! DAMM came out, fixed the problem in minutes, such nice lovely guys. I would definitely recommend them in future! Thank you!

We have been working with DAMM Environmental Ltd for over 8 years, and they are our main and principal supplier of gully and jetter services across Edinburgh, Glasgow, Falkirk, and beyond. Over this time, their professionalism, reliability, and consistency have made them an essential partner for our business.

Pedro Santos @ Locktel Limited

I contacted Damm, and they arrived the following day and fixed a long-standing drainage problem that I thought half my garden would need digging up to fix. They cleared the blockage within an hour or two, and left the garden as they found it. If I had not been present, I would not believe they had been there. I would not hesitate to recommend DAMM.

Leslie Williamson

DAMM brought clarity to a job three other firms had overcomplicated. Modern, straight-talking and seriously capable.
