From Victorian terraces to post-war estates and new-build suburbs, Birmingham's varied housing means equally varied drainage. Camera surveys cut through the uncertainty and tell you exactly what is below ground.
Birmingham's huge spread of inter-war and post-war housing sits on a patchwork of clay and concrete drainage. Combined with extensive tree planting and clay soils that move with the seasons, cracked pipes and root-related blockages are common across the city and its suburbs.
Common drainage problems in Birmingham
These are the faults we most often find in Birmingham properties. However, only a camera survey confirms exactly which of them apply to yours.
- Cracked pipes from shrink-swell movement in clay soils
- Root ingress across heavily tree-lined suburbs
- Ageing clay and concrete drainage in inter-war and post-war housing
- Recurring blockages where original falls have settled
