Drainage Selly Oak is dominated by two issues: the age of the pipe infrastructure and the intensity of use. The large Victorian and Edwardian terraces along Bristol Road and Raddlebarn Road were built for single-family occupation. Many are now HMOs housing eight, ten, or twelve occupants. The volume of kitchen waste, shower water, and toilet waste generated each day is far beyond what a 100-year-old single-pipe clay drain was designed to handle. Grease and fat blockages are by far the most common call-out we receive in B29.
