Common Drainage Issues in the UK

Drainage problems are a common nuisance for homeowners, businesses, and landlords across the UK. Whether you’re in a rural village or a bustling city, drainage issues can strike at any time — often without warning. At Alton Facility Services, we’ve seen it all, and our expert team is equipped to handle everything from the smallest blockage to major system failures.

1. Blocked Drains

One of the most frequent issues we deal with. Blocked drains can be caused by grease, hair, wipes, tree roots, or structural faults. Signs include slow drainage, gurgling noises, and unpleasant smells. Learn more about our blocked drain services.

2. Collapsed or Damaged Pipework

Over time, drainage pipes can deteriorate due to ground movement, heavy traffic above ground, or simple wear and tear. Collapsed drains often require CCTV surveys and potentially excavation or relining to resolve.

3. Tree Root Intrusion

Roots from nearby trees and shrubs are naturally drawn to water sources, making your drains a target. Once inside, they can cause major blockages and structural damage.

4. Poor Drainage Design or Installation

Incorrect gradients, undersized pipes, or improper layouts can lead to frequent flooding or stagnant water. Our team can identify design flaws and recommend upgrades or full new drainage installations.

5. Groundwater or Surface Water Flooding

Properties in low-lying areas or with poor landscaping often experience pooling or flooding during heavy rain. This is especially common in older properties across the UK. We offer soakaway solutions, land drainage systems, and sump pump installations to combat water buildup.

6. Foul Odours

Persistent bad smells can indicate a deeper issue within your drains. It may be a partial blockage, broken seal, or build-up of waste materials in hard-to-reach areas.

7. Overflowing Manholes

If wastewater is backing up into your garden or driveway, it’s likely your system is blocked or the public sewer is overwhelmed. Either way, it needs expert intervention fast.

8. Slow Drainage Indoors

Water taking too long to drain from sinks, showers or toilets often points to partial blockages in internal pipework. Left unresolved, this can lead to backups and internal flooding.

9. Recurrent Issues

If you’re calling for drainage help more than once or twice a year, there’s likely an underlying issue such as structural damage, scale build-up or insufficient capacity. We can conduct a full CCTV drain survey to find the root cause.

We Fix Drainage Problems Fast

Don’t let a small drainage issue become a major repair job. We provide fast response callouts across the UK and the surrounding areas, with national coverage for large-scale or emergency jobs.
