A Olton drainage engineer,
on call 24/7 with a clear price before we start.
Local Solihull drainage engineers covering Olton. Blocked drains, high-pressure jetting, CCTV surveys and drain repairs, with a clear price agreed before we lift a cover.
Olton sits about three miles west of central Solihull in the B92 postcode, though parts bleed into B27 and B28. It's a mixed area, mostly Edwardian and interwar semis along the older residential streets, with some 1960s and 70s infill and a handful of newer flats near the station. Drainage calls here tend to be blocked drains from ageing clay pipework, collapsed joints under established gardens, and the odd shared sewer dispute between neighbours who've both assumed someone else owns the problem.
You'll find us coming in along the A41 Warwick Road or cutting through via Lode Lane depending on traffic. The streets closest to Olton Reservoir have mature trees with root systems that have been quietly working their way into pipe joints for decades, and we pull out root mass from those jobs fairly regularly. The housing density means shared drains are common, and a lot of the original clay runs haven't been touched since they were laid. That makes CCTV surveys a sensible first step before anyone starts digging.

Olton FAQ
It's a really common situation in Olton given the age of the housing stock. Shared private drains that serve more than one property are often the joint responsibility of both owners, but the exact position depends on where the blockage or damage sits relative to each property's connection. We can run a CCTV camera through the line, pinpoint the problem and show you exactly where it is. That footage is usually enough to settle the argument between neighbours, and it gives both of you something solid to take to your insurers if needed.
