Draintech Tankers is now part of RescueRod
Draintech Tankers has come together with our sister businesses, Clanville Draintech, 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 Draintech Tankers customers, this is good news that changes nothing about who turns up. The drivers who know your sites, your tanks and your access arrangements are the same people, and the office you call is the same office. What changes is what sits behind them: a family firm established in 1981 with five specialist departments covering everything from drainage to water mains. You will see the RescueRod name and colours on our tankers and paperwork over the coming months.
What stays the same
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.
What you gain
