Because Dickens Heath was predominantly built from the late 1990s onwards, the underground infrastructure relies heavily on modern PVC piping. Unlike older clay pipes, PVC does not crack easily and is highly resistant to tree root ingress. Therefore, when we attend to blocked drains in Dickens Heath, structural pipe failure is rarely the cause. Instead, the blockages are almost always related to usage.
