When a drainage emergency occurs, knowing who is legally responsible is critical. Under statutory regulations, pipes within your private property boundary that serve only your home remain your responsibility. Shared runs and lateral sewers past the property boundary fall under Northumbrian Water.
Pinpoint Boundary Identification: We identify whether an active blockage sits on your private pipework or statutory lateral sewers using push-rod CCTV inspection.
Certified Engineers: All field operatives are Water Jetting Association (WJA) certified, Confined Space trained, and backed by £1,000,000 Public Liability Insurance.
Trenchless First Policy: Whenever structurally feasible, we utilise silicate resin patch repairs and CIPP inversion liners to restore pipes without breaking driveways or paved yards.
Whether facing raw sewage overflow in Sunderland, backing-up commercial gullies in Gateshead, or requiring a certified pre-purchase survey in Newcastle, our dispatch team is available 24/7.
