Much of the housing in Elmdon was built between the 1930s and 1950s. The drainage infrastructure from this era was built using heavy-duty clay pipes, but after eighty years in the ground, the joints are inevitably beginning to fail. Heavy local traffic and clay soil movement contribute to pipes dropping or cracking. When homeowners report blocked drains in Elmdon, it is often because these structural defects are catching waste and toilet paper, leading to a build-up.

Answers from our local engineers who work across Elmdon every day.
No. We offer a completely free call-out service. We assess the job and provide a fixed quote upfront.
Yes. We offer WRc-approved no-dig patch lining, which seals the crack permanently from the inside without needing to dig up your garden.
We can reach most Elmdon addresses within about 30 minutes from our Solihull office. B92 properties closer to the Lode Lane corridor are typically the fastest to reach.
Yes. The mature oak and ash trees in and around the nature park have root systems that extend well into the surrounding residential streets. Properties backing directly onto the park are particularly affected. We cut roots by jetting and reline the affected joints to prevent re-entry.
In most cases, yes. We use no-dig structural relining to repair cracked, displaced, or root-damaged pipes from the inside. This avoids digging up gardens, driveways, or patios. Excavation is only required where a pipe has completely collapsed.
A CCTV survey shows the internal condition of every section of your drainage run: cracks, joint displacement, root ingress, scale build-up, and any changes in gradient or direction. You receive a written HD report after the survey.
Yes. We attend emergency drainage call-outs across B92 seven days a week, including weekends and bank holidays. There is no additional charge for out-of-hours attendance.
