Elmdon sits in the B37 postcode, roughly three miles from central Solihull and about ten minutes in the van depending on traffic on the A45. It's a mixed area, with post-war semis and bungalows making up a lot of the residential stock alongside some later infill estates from the 1980s and 1990s. You've also got light industrial and commercial units near the airport corridor. The drainage jobs we see most often are blocked drains, collapsed older clay pipes, and surface water problems on the flatter ground.
We come in via the A45, which puts us close to the eastern edge of the area quickly. The residential streets tend to have original clay pipework from the 1950s and 1960s, and it's showing its age on plenty of properties. Being low-lying and close to the Elmdon area's proximity to Birmingham Airport means some surface water drainage ties into systems that weren't really designed for the volume they're handling now. Mature garden trees are a consistent problem here, with root ingress into pipe joints one of the more common findings on CCTV surveys.

Elmdon FAQ
In Elmdon it's often neither a simple blockage nor a broken pipe. Low-lying ground means the surface water system can surcharge during heavy rainfall, and if your drain connects into an already overloaded shared sewer or surface water run, it'll back up even when your own pipework is clear. We can run a CCTV survey and check the flow direction to tell you exactly what's happening before you spend money on a jetting job that won't fix it.
