What usually causes blocked drains in Bilston properties?
In Bilston's older terraced properties, we commonly see blockages from root ingress into aging clay pipes and accumulated debris in original drainage systems. Newer developments in WV14 typically experience blockages from inappropriate items being flushed or food waste buildup, while the mixed housing stock means we encounter a wide variety of drainage issues requiring different solutions.
Should I get a drain survey before buying a house in Bilston?

Who should I contact about mains sewer problems affecting my Bilston property?
For mains sewer issues in Bilston, contact Severn Trent Water as they maintain the public sewerage network throughout WV14 and the wider West Midlands region. However, if you're unsure whether the problem is on your private drainage or the public system, we can help identify the issue and advise on the appropriate next steps.
Why do Bilston's older terraced streets seem to have more drainage problems?
Bilston's older terraced properties were built when drainage standards were different, often featuring original clay pipes that are now decades old and vulnerable to root damage, ground movement, and structural deterioration. These aging systems in WV14's established areas require more frequent maintenance and are more susceptible to blockages than modern plastic pipe networks in newer developments.
