Typical response: around 25 minutes from our Birmingham office
Period and inter-war homes often retain clay drainage beneath rear gardens even after kitchens, utilities, and en suites have been renewed. A plastic branch may enter through an adaptor with a small internal lip, or the old run may have settled beyond the extension. We inspect the transition as well as the original pipe so the repair addresses the actual hold-up.
A selection of drainage jobs from across our service area.
Finstall sits close to Bromsgrove but retains a village mix of older homes, generous gardens, inter-war streets, and modern infill. Extensions often join new drainage to clay pipework that has been in the ground for decades. We cover B60 alongside Stoke Prior drain services, drainage work in Tardebigge, and the main Bromsgrove service page.
The first camera pass looks closely at the point where later PVC meets the original clay. A poorly seated adaptor can create a small lip, and a new branch laid at a shallow angle can push waste across rather than into the main flow. We run water from the altered fixtures and watch the connection under load. That shows whether the extension branch is causing the hold-up or merely revealing a separate defect farther towards the street.
We then assess what can be repaired internally. A cracked clay socket beneath a patio may accept a local resin patch after cleaning and preparation. A low plastic branch will stay low if lined and normally needs excavation to correct its level. In wet gardens, we also test whether rainwater shares the affected run or discharges to a soakaway. Owners get separate advice for foul drainage and surface water, which avoids using one expensive repair to address two unrelated symptoms.
Finstall sits on Mixed loam and clay with locally impeded drainage geology, managed by Severn Trent Water. The area's dominant property types, Victorian and Edwardian homes, inter-war semis, detached houses, each present different drainage challenges.

Answers from our local engineers who work across Finstall every day.
The new connection may have a lip, tight bend, or shallow fall, or the work may have covered useful access. It can also increase flow through an existing weak section. CCTV helps identify which part changed the drainage behaviour.
Yes, if there is access into the run. The camera can locate a defect beneath paving and help plan a patch repair or a small, accurately placed excavation instead of lifting a wide area.
High-pressure jetting with the correct nozzle can strip grease and scale from the wall. We also check for a rough joint or low section where deposits collected, because cleaning alone may not prevent a return.
Check whether it follows rainfall rather than use of toilets and sinks. We can test rainwater branches, inspect accessible pipes, and assess whether the soakaway accepts flow. A water-supply leak should also be ruled out where the ground stays wet in dry weather.
Often, yes. A resin patch can be installed from an access point if the pipe is clean and aligned. A collapse, major step, or inaccessible bend may require a different approach.
A formal survey can record the accessible route, chamber positions, and visible defects. It is not a statutory utility plan, but it gives owners practical information for maintenance, sale, or proposed building work.
Standard unblocking starts from £100, with no call-out fee. We explain the method and agree the price before work. Repairs or written reporting are separate and optional.
