A Lode Heath drainage engineer,
on call 24/7 with a clear price before we start.

Lode Heath sits in the B91 postcode, roughly three miles south-east of central Solihull, and it takes us about ten minutes to reach from the office depending on traffic on the A41. The area is dominated by 1950s and 1960s semi-detached houses, with some later infill development rounding out the streets. Drainage calls here tend to be blocked toilets, slow-draining baths and the occasional collapsed inspection chamber, all pretty typical of housing stock that's now pushing sixty to seventy years old.

Most of the roads feeding off the main corridors here were built to post-war standards, which means you've got a mixture of clay and early pitch-fibre pipes that are well past their best. We usually come in along Lode Lane. The proximity to Elmdon Heath and the stretch of older tree-lined residential streets means root ingress into pipe joints is one of the more common findings when we put a camera down. Shared sewer runs between back gardens are another recurring headache, particularly where boundaries and adoptions have never been properly sorted.
