CCTV Survey in Maltby
Maltby's separate sewer system means surface and foul drains run independently across S66 and S67 postcodes. Many Maltby properties—especially Victorian and Edwardian homes built before 1920—have misconnections that Anglian Water and Rotherham Council enforce against. A CCTV survey reveals what's hidden under your garden before purchase or when blockages start.
A CCTV drain survey in Maltby examines your underground pipes with a remotely operated camera, identifying blockages, cracks, root intrusion, and misconnections. Essential in Maltby's separate sewer zone and for properties predating 1950.
Drainage in Maltby — what local engineers know
Rotherham Council's planning records show Maltby has one of the highest rates of sewer-related enforcement notices in the area, linked to the separate system and older construction. Anglian Water's harder water supply means mineral buildup in pipes obscures blockages on camera until they fail. Pre-purchase CCTV surveys in Maltby often reveal decades-old misplacement of washing machine waste into surface drains—a legal and environmental liability in S68 and S69. The flooding history (classified as high-risk) means drain function is critical; a single blockage can cause discharge into surface gutters during wet weather.
- Hard water supply causes limescale accumulation in boilers, radiators and soil pipe joints — powerflush and descaling demand is high across Maltby
- Separate sewer system across most of Maltby: misconnections (e.g. washing machines plumbed into surface water drains) are a known local issue and can result in environmental enforcement action
- High flood risk in Maltby: basement and ground-floor properties near watercourses are vulnerable to sewer backflow — non-return valve installation is strongly recommended

Who's responsible for drains in Maltby?
In Maltby, responsibility for a blocked or damaged drain depends on where the fault sits. As a homeowner you are responsible for the drains within your property boundary that serve only your home. Since the 2011 private sewer transfer, Anglian Water is responsible for shared sewers and lateral drains beyond your boundary — even where they run under private land. Road gullies and highway drainage are maintained by Rotherham.
This matters because it determines who pays. If our engineer's CCTV inspection shows the fault is in a shared sewer, we'll tell you — and you can report it to Anglian Water rather than paying for the repair yourself. The separate sewer layout that dominates Maltby affects where these boundaries typically fall, and our local engineers know the S66, S67, S68 networks well enough to identify ownership quickly.
