Post-war semis and terraces around Daventry Road often connect through shared laterals before reaching the road sewer. A blockage downstream can fill several chambers at once, while a private branch fault affects only one home. We check the pattern of backing up before starting chargeable work. That first diagnosis helps distinguish an owner problem from one that should be reported to Severn Trent Water.
A selection of drainage jobs from across our service area.
Cheylesmore sits close to central Coventry but has its own mix of post-war streets, flats, older pockets, and heavily altered family homes. Dense drainage layouts make access and shared responsibility as important as the blockage itself. We cover CV3 with adjoining pages for Stivichall drainage problems, drain unblocking in Finham, and the main Coventry service.
We begin by finding out which homes or flats are affected. If one ground-floor toilet is slow but the shared chamber remains clear, the fault may be inside that branch. If several properties back up together, the restriction is farther downstream. Controlled flow tests show when the chamber level changes and help avoid pushing a blockage from a private pipe into a shared run. Where ownership is unclear, the camera position and connection layout provide useful evidence for the managing agent or Severn Trent Water.
High use often exposes a pipe defect rather than causing one on its own. Wipes and fat catch at roots, an offset socket, or a low section that would also trouble a family home over a longer period. After cleaning, we look for that collection point and check whether the chamber itself is damaged or badly benched. The owner receives a practical next step, which might be improved access, a local repair, a scheduled maintenance interval for a busy property, or no further work if the pipe is sound and the obstruction was isolated.

Answers from our local engineers who work across Cheylesmore every day.
Ask immediate neighbours whether their drains are slow and look only at chambers you can open safely. Several full chambers across different properties suggest a downstream shared restriction. We can trace the connections and record the point where flow stops.
Call Severn Trent if multiple homes are affected or a public sewer is overflowing. If only your fixtures and private chamber are involved, the problem is more likely on your branch. We can help establish the boundary where the evidence is unclear.
Yes. Wipes do not break down like toilet paper. They catch on roots, rough joints, and other defects, then bind with fat and waste. Removing the blockage solves the immediate problem, but the snag point should be checked if it has happened more than once.
We first look for another access route. Where the covered chamber is on a shared or public sewer, building-over issues may also need checking. We do not recommend opening a floor until the route, ownership, and practical alternatives are understood.
Many cracks and open joints can be sealed internally if the pipe is clean, accessible, and still correctly aligned. A full collapse or severe dip cannot be corrected by lining. CCTV footage determines which repair is technically sound.
Yes. We can liaise with the responsible contact, document what was found, and provide a formal CCTV report if required. Access to shared areas and authorisation for additional work should be arranged before the visit where possible.
There is no call-out fee. Standard unblocking starts from £100, and we agree a fixed price before work begins. Formal reports, specialist cutting, and repairs are quoted separately so the cost stays clear.
Most CV3 attendances are around 55 to 60 minutes from our Solihull office. Traffic and current emergency work can change that, so the booking team gives a live estimate rather than a broad all-day window.
