Drainage Across West Midlands

The West Midlands presents some of the most diverse drainage challenges in England. Victorian terraces in inner Birmingham sit alongside 1960s council estates and modern new-builds, each with fundamentally different pipe materials and failure modes. The region sits primarily on Mercia Mudstone — heavy clay that shrinks in summer and swells in winter, placing enormous pressure on ageing pipe joints. Severn Trent Water manages the public sewer network, but the sheer age of infrastructure in areas like Handsworth, Aston, and central Coventry means blockages, root ingress, and collapsed drains are daily occurrences.
