Clanville Draintech has come together with our sister businesses, Draintech Tankers, Dorset County Water and RM Liquid Disposal, as one company: RescueRod. For many years these teams have worked side by side across Hampshire, Dorset and Wiltshire, sharing the same standards and the same commitment to doing the job properly. We were always one team. Now we share one name.
For our Clanville customers, this is good news that changes nothing about who turns up. The engineers who know your drains, your sites and your quirky access arrangements are the same people, and the office you call is the same office. What changes is what sits behind them: the full weight of a family firm established in 1981, with five specialist departments covering everything from drainage to water mains. You will start to see the RescueRod name and colours on our vans and paperwork over the coming months.
The engineers who know your sites, the people who answer your calls and the standard of work you have come to expect all continue as before. Your existing contracts and contacts remain unchanged.
