Blocked drains and sewers

Drains are pipes which carry waste and surface water from one or more houses. When one drain meets another, it becomes a sewer. These are not the gullies or grids that can be found in the road to take water off the highway.

Southern Water looks after the network of public sewers in the surrounding areas. If you have a sewer problem, please contact Southern Water on 0845 278 0845. For further information you can visit their website. For help and advice on highway drainage, land drainage or private drainage, contact us during office hours.
