It started a few years ago where my private drain got blocked and I had to get it rodded by a Drain Cleaning Services and CCTV Drain Surveys Croydon company. Fast forward this June and it happened again, according to the drain bloke the blockage is at the boundary between my private drain and where it joins the water company's sewer in the road.
He didn't use a camera to check but he reckoned there might be damage to the pipe which he said he could feel when pushing with the rod while unblocking it. He also said it's right on the boundary or just within my boundary and therefore I will have difficulty getting the water company to fix it for free.
Anyone had experience of having a section of sewer pipe dug up and repaired and the likely costs? These are 100 year old drains and sewers.
My drains have blocked again so I know it needs sorting sooner or later.
