Stourport-on-Severn was created as a canal town when James Brindley built the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal in the 1760s. The Georgian town that grew around the canal basins was built on river clay, and much of its original drainage infrastructure dates from that founding period. Our drainage engineers in Stourport-on-Severn, working in the streets around the Basins, Bridge Street, and the older residential streets close to the river, are dealing with drainage systems that are 200 years old in some cases. These are clay and cast-iron pipes that have been in the ground through every major River Severn flood event since the Georgian era.
River Severn flooding is the dominant drainage risk that Stourport-on-Severn homeowners face. The town sits at the confluence of the Stour and the Severn, and it floods regularly. The Basins area, the streets immediately adjacent to the river, and much of the lower town can be under water several times in a bad winter. When the Severn floods, every drainage outfall in the lower town is submerged, and sewage backs up into properties through the lowest drain points. Calls for drain unblocking in Stourport-on-Severn during flood events require a different approach from standard blockage work. We assess whether the issue is a genuine blockage or a flooded outfall before recommending any action.
The Victorian terraces across the residential streets of Stourport were built during the town's commercial peak in the 19th century. They sit on original clay drainage, and the combination of river clay soil and periodic flood saturation means their pipe joints have been under stress since they were laid. When residents in these terraces in Stourport-on-Severn contact us for drain unblocking, it most often involves root ingress at failing clay joints, compounded by grease and scale accumulation in pipes that have been running at reduced bore for years. We carry CCTV on every vehicle to assess the full condition of the pipe before starting jetting work.
The more modern residential areas on the edges of Stourport, built from the 1960s onward, use PVC drainage systems that are less susceptible to the structural problems found in the older town. Calls for drain unblocking in Stourport-on-Severn from these properties are typically caused by accumulated fat and grease, wipes, or a partial restriction at a shared inspection chamber. These are straightforward jobs that we resolve by jetting and confirm by CCTV survey. Our engineers also cover the neighbouring Severn-side towns of Bewdley and Kidderminster, where similar river flood risks apply.

Answers from our local engineers who work across Stourport-on-Severn every day.
Yes, regularly. When the Severn floods in Stourport, the drainage outfalls are submerged and sewage backs up into properties in the lower town and Basins area. This is not a pipe blockage. We can advise on non-return valves and other flood protection measures for affected properties.
The drainage in the streets around the Basins and the original Georgian town centre dates to the late 18th and early 19th centuries. These are clay and cast-iron pipes that have been in service for up to 200 years. CCTV survey is the only way to assess their current condition.
We can reach most Stourport-on-Severn addresses in around 65 minutes. Town centre DY13 properties are typically the fastest. The response time can vary during and after flood events when road closures are in place.
No. There is no call-out fee. We quote a fixed price on site before work begins.
