Nuneaton was built on coal, and the coal mines that operated beneath the town for over a century have left a legacy in the ground that directly affects drainage. Mining subsidence is an active issue in parts of Nuneaton and the surrounding area, even where mining ceased decades ago. Ground settlement caused by subsurface voids and compacting mine workings can cause drainage pipes to settle unevenly, lose their gradient, and crack at joints. Our drainage engineers in Nuneaton are alert to this risk and use CCTV survey to identify whether a blockage is caused by a standard accumulation or by pipe displacement linked to ground movement.
A selection of drainage jobs from across our service area.
Nuneaton sits on Clay with coal measures - former mining area geology, managed by Severn Trent Water. The area's dominant property types, Victorian terraces, 1930s-60s estates, modern new-builds, each present different drainage challenges.

Answers from our local engineers who work across Nuneaton every day.
Yes. Ground settlement from historic coal mine workings can cause drainage pipes to settle unevenly and lose gradient or crack at joints. This is more common in areas that sit above former mine workings. CCTV survey identifies whether a blockage is a standard accumulation or pipe displacement.
Much of the older Nuneaton town centre is served by a combined sewer that carries both surface water and foul sewage. Heavy rainfall overloads the combined sewer capacity, causing sewage to back up through the lowest points. This is a network capacity issue, not a private drain blockage.
We can reach most Nuneaton addresses in around 60 minutes. CV10 and CV11 town centre properties are typically the fastest. Outlying areas may take a few minutes longer.
No. There is no call-out fee. We agree a fixed price on site before work begins.
