Scheduled drain maintenance prevents emergencies that shut down kitchens or flood communal areas in Ludlow's SY8, SY9, SY10 and SY11 properties.

Who's responsible for drains in Ludlow?
In Ludlow, 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, Severn Trent 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 Shropshire.
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 Severn Trent Water rather than paying for the repair yourself. The separate sewer layout that dominates Ludlow affects where these boundaries typically fall, and our local engineers know the SY8, SY9, SY10 networks well enough to identify ownership quickly.
