Edgbaston has some of the largest residential properties in Birmingham, and the drainage systems beneath them are proportionally complex. The Victorian and Edwardian villas along Edgbaston Road, Priory Road, and Westbourne Road were built with private drainage runs that can extend 30 to 50 metres from the property to the public sewer. These long runs are entirely the homeowner's responsibility, and they are laid in salt-glazed clay with lime mortar joints that have been in the ground for over a century. The heavy Mercia Mudstone clay beneath Edgbaston has been gradually opening those joints through seasonal expansion and contraction, and the very mature ornamental trees that give the area its character send root systems directly into the gaps.

Edgbaston is one of Birmingham's most affluent suburbs, with large Victorian and Edwardian properties set in generous grounds.

The large Victorian and Edwardian properties in Edgbaston sit on generous plots, and the private drainage run from the house to the public sewer can extend 30 to 50 metres. The entire private section is the homeowner's responsibility. Long runs need high-pressure jetting to clear effectively because manual rodding cannot reach the full length.
Yes. Many larger properties in B15 and B16 have basement or lower-ground-floor drainage with floor gullies and pump systems. We carry the equipment to clear basement gullies and service pump chambers on every visit.
Responsibility depends on whether the drain is a private drain, a shared lateral drain (transferred to Severn Trent in 2011), or an estate-managed system. We can CCTV survey the full run to confirm exactly where a blockage sits and who should be paying for the repair.
Yes. Cast iron pipes in properties from 1900 to 1920 are common in Edgbaston. After 100 to 120 years, the inside surface corrodes and catches debris. We cut out damaged sections and replace them with PVC on the same visit.
Yes. CCTV drain surveys start from £250 and include a full HD written report. For large Edgbaston properties with long private runs, a survey is the most reliable way to locate blockages and assess pipe condition along the full length.
