Drain Blockage Coventry

Generally, the homeowner is responsible for the drains within the property boundary up to the point where they connect to the public sewer. However, shared drains (serving multiple properties) are often the responsibility of the water company. If the blockage is confirmed to be in the public sewer, the cost of clearing it falls to the water authority. However, for private drains, the responsibility lies with the property owner. This is why a CCTV survey is often vital—to determine exactly where the fault lies before digging begins.
