What causes blocked drains in Birmingham
Birmingham has a huge spread of inter-war and post-war housing, on a patchwork of clay and concrete drains. Its many street trees and clay soils that move with the seasons add to the strain. So cracked pipes and root blockages are common across the city and its suburbs.
- 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
Why it matters
Clearance
Jetting and rodding clear most blockages. Ask how many visits the job is likely to need, so you can plan around it.
Verified clear
Ask for a camera check afterwards to confirm the blockage has gone, and to see the state of the pipe. That way, you know the job is done.
Cause flagged
If something keeps causing blockages, a camera check can spot it. You can then fix the cause, rather than pay to clear it again.
What it usually includes

- Locating the blockage and choosing the right clearance method
- High-pressure jetting or mechanical rodding to clear it
