- Hard water supply causes limescale accumulation in boilers, radiators and soil pipe joints — powerflush and descaling demand is high across Farnham
- Separate sewer system across most of Farnham: misconnections (e.g. washing machines plumbed into surface water drains) are a known local issue and can result in environmental enforcement action
- Ageing infrastructure in parts of Farnham means drain blockages from grease, wipes and root ingress remain the most common call-out reasons
- With a significant share of properties built before 1920, salt-glazed clay drainage and lead-solder copper pipework are common — pipe collapse, root ingress and joint failure are recurring call-out drivers.
- Farnham has Environment Agency flood warning areas nearby along the River Wey corridor — basement and ground-floor properties can face sewer backflow during heavy rain; non-return valves are strongly recommended.

Who's responsible for drains in Farnham?
In Farnham, 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, Thames 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 Waverley.
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 Thames Water rather than paying for the repair yourself. The separate sewer layout that dominates Farnham affects where these boundaries typically fall, and our local engineers know the GU9, GU10, GU11 networks well enough to identify ownership quickly.
