Catherine-de-Barnes sits in B92, roughly 3 miles from central Solihull, and it's a quiet semi-rural village that mixes older detached and semi-detached housing with some newer infill development along the main road corridor. A lot of the properties here have been extended or altered over the decades, which tends to mean drainage that's been modified piecemeal. We're out here regularly for blocked drains, slow-draining gullies and root ingress, mainly on private systems that haven't had much attention.
The village sits alongside the Grand Union Canal and the River Blythe, and that low-lying ground around the edges means surface water doesn't always have anywhere easy to go. A lot of the older properties run on clay pipe systems with push-fit joints that tree roots exploit readily, especially where mature garden trees have had decades to spread. We usually come in via the A41 Hampton Lane corridor. What makes this area slightly different from the surrounding suburbs is the number of properties on private drainage arrangements, septic tanks included, which need a different approach.
