Balsall Common is a large village sitting in CV7, roughly a 15-minute drive west from central Solihull on the A452. It's predominantly detached and semi-detached housing, a real mix of 1960s and 70s builds alongside newer 1990s and 2000s infill estates. We get called out here regularly for blocked drains and CCTV surveys, particularly on older properties where the original clay pipework is starting to show its age. It's a well-kept, owner-occupied kind of place and residents here tend to want the job done properly.
We come into Balsall Common along the A452 from Hampton Lane, serving streets across the village centre and the surrounding residential roads. The older sections of the village have clay drainage runs that are well past their best, and the number of mature trees along garden boundaries means root ingress is one of the most common things we find on CCTV surveys. Some of the 1970s properties share sewer runs across neighbouring plots, which can complicate who's responsible when things go wrong. Balsall Common is the kind of village where drainage is out of sight and out of mind until it very suddenly isn't.

Balsall Common FAQ
Yes, and that pattern is actually a warning sign worth taking seriously. A drain that backs up seasonally is usually partially blocked or has a root intrusion that's restricting flow without fully blocking it. In winter, extra surface water pushes it over the edge. Left alone it'll get worse, and you'll eventually end up with an overflow at a much more inconvenient time. A CCTV survey will show you exactly what's in there.
