Since London mixes Victorian sewers, period homes and dense new building, drain problems are common and often complex. Old clay pipes, shared drains and tree-lined streets lead to roots, cracks and repeat blockages.
Much of London's housing is older than modern drainage standards, and original clay and pitch-fibre pipes are still in use. Mature street trees and shared drains mean roots and disputes over who is responsible come up often. Basement conversions add strain to these ageing systems too.
Before you book a survey in London, these guides may help: who is responsible for a blocked drain, drain relining costs per metre and the signs of a collapsed drain.
