Blocked Drain in Olton? Local Experts Available Now.

Shared drainage runs are another common feature in Olton. Many of the older properties share a single lateral drain before it connects to the Severn Trent main sewer. When a blockage occurs in a shared line, it can cause waste to back up into multiple homes. Our Olton drain unblocking team carries high-definition CCTV equipment to pinpoint exactly where a blockage sits, helping homeowners understand whether the issue is on their private boundary or shared infrastructure.

The inter-war housing between Warwick Road and Lode Lane represents a significant portion of the B92 postcode, and the clay drainage beneath these 1920s and 1930s properties is now approaching a century in the ground. The pipes were laid in a period when salt-glazed clay was the standard material and lime mortar was used to bed every joint. That mortar has been eroding for decades, and the heavy clay soil beneath Olton accelerates the process with its seasonal swelling and shrinkage. When homeowners in this part of Olton contact us about slow drainage or recurring blockages, CCTV survey almost always reveals joint displacement and early-stage root ingress at multiple points along the run. We clear the blockage by jetting, survey the full run, and recommend relining the most compromised sections to restore structural integrity.
