Typical response: around 30-40 minutes from our Birmingham office
Terraced rows can share a lateral behind or beneath several homes before turning towards the street. Modern fences and extensions rarely show that route. We test chambers and fixtures to establish which properties connect, then locate the point where flow stops. This prevents a landlord or homeowner paying to repair a section maintained by the water company.
A selection of drainage jobs from across our service area.
Erdington's Victorian terraces, inter-war streets, converted properties, and post-war housing create dense and often shared drainage layouts. High use can expose defects that remain hidden in a lightly occupied home. We cover B23 and B24, linking with Great Barr drain services, drain unblocking in Sutton Coldfield, and our main Birmingham drainage service.
Dense terraces and converted properties need controlled testing. We ask occupants to pause water use, check the accessible chambers, then run one fixture at a time. This shows whether a flat has a local branch blockage or whether the common drain is already full. If several addresses are affected, we locate the downstream restriction and help the owner establish whether Severn Trent Water should attend. Clearing a private sink branch will not solve a full shared sewer.
After the immediate blockage is removed, we clean the joint or pipe wall that trapped it. Landlords receive a practical record of the material removed and any structural snag, such as roots, scale, an offset socket, or standing water. This helps distinguish one-off misuse from a maintenance problem without making claims the footage cannot support. If original access has been covered, we also explain whether a new external chamber would materially improve future maintenance or whether an existing downstream route is adequate.
Erdington sits on Clay-rich urban ground with river and brook deposits in lower areas geology, managed by Severn Trent Water. The area's dominant property types, Victorian terraces, inter-war semis, post-war housing, each present different drainage challenges.

Answers from our local engineers who work across Erdington every day.
The route can be tested by running water from individual fixtures while checking accessible chambers. We record where each branch joins and whether the blockage sits before or after that point.
The material removed and camera evidence may indicate wipes, fat, roots, or a structural defect. It is not always possible to assign a single person, but a recorded finding is more useful than an unsupported assumption.
We look for alternative access before considering building work. A downstream chamber or suitable internal access may allow clearance and inspection. Any new access should be planned around ownership and future maintenance.
The roots inside can be cut, and the entry joint can often be sealed by lining. No repair can stop every root in the garden, but closing the leak removes the route into the pipe.
Both discharges may meet a restricted underground branch. Air is pushed back through the toilet as water struggles past. Stop repeated appliance cycles if the level rises, as overflow may follow.
Yes. Stop water use and keep away from contamination. Tell us sewage is inside the building when calling so the job can be prioritised and the engineer arrives prepared.
Standard work starts from £100 with no call-out fee. We agree the fixed price before starting. Written reporting and structural repairs are separate where required.
B23 and B24 are typically around 30 to 40 minutes from our Birmingham office. Traffic around Gravelly Hill and the local high street can alter this, so we give a current estimate at booking.
