Alvechurch village has a mix of old and new properties, and the drainage beneath B48 reflects that range. The older cottages in the village centre were built with salt-glazed clay pipe and cast iron internal runs. Some of these cottages have been extended and modernised over the years, adding PVC connections to serve new kitchens and bathrooms. The junction between old and new pipe materials is a common failure point because the materials expand and contract at different rates in the clay soil. Our engineers working in Alvechurch regularly find blockages at these material junctions.

No. There is no call-out fee. We agree a fixed price on site before any work starts. Drain unblocking in Alvechurch starts from £100.
Yes. Properties close to the Stratford-upon-Avon Canal have a higher water table, and during wet periods groundwater infiltrates through cracked clay pipe joints. Canal-side vegetation also sends root systems into nearby drainage runs. A CCTV survey identifies whether groundwater or roots are contributing to slow drainage.
Yes. Properties on the edges of the village often have septic tanks or cesspits rather than mains sewer connections. We carry out CCTV surveys on private drainage systems and can assess whether a tank or soakaway is performing correctly.
Village cottages were built with clay and cast iron drainage, and many have been extended with PVC connections. The junction between old and new materials is a common failure point because the different materials expand and contract at different rates. The lime mortar joints in the original clay pipe also erode over time.
