Drain Jetting in Lurgan
Lurgan's dense commercial and residential areas (restaurants, HMOs, managed houses in BT67 and BT68) face constant drain strain. Grease traps clog, tenant misuse overloads pipes, and the separate sewer system in Lurgan means one blocked surface drain can trigger council enforcement. Scheduled drain maintenance in Lurgan prevents blockages before they close your business or trap you in a compliance notice.
Drain maintenance in Lurgan involves regular jetting, grease-trap cleaning, and root removal for commercial kitchens, HMOs, and rental properties. Quarterly schedules cost £300–£600/year and protect against council enforcement. Lurgan's separate sewers require surface-drain checks.
Drainage in Lurgan — what local engineers know
Lurgan restaurants and food-service businesses in the BT66–BT68 postcodes are particularly vulnerable to grease buildup; Northern Ireland Water and Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon council both monitor sewer overflows and misconnections closely. Landlords managing HMOs in Lurgan must prove drainage compliance to avoid losing licenses. Regular jetting, descaling, and root-clearance maintenance in Lurgan reduces the risk of emergency callouts and council action. Properties on the separate sewer (the majority in Lurgan) need annual surface-drain checks to catch tenant misconnections early.
- Soft water supply reduces limescale, but slightly acidic pH can accelerate corrosion of copper fittings and lead joints in older Lurgan properties
- Separate sewer system across most of Lurgan: 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 Lurgan means drain blockages from grease, wipes and root ingress remain the most common call-out reasons

Who's responsible for drains in Lurgan?
In Lurgan, 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, Northern Ireland 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 Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon.
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 Northern Ireland Water rather than paying for the repair yourself. The separate sewer layout that dominates Lurgan affects where these boundaries typically fall, and our local engineers know the BT66, BT67, BT68 networks well enough to identify ownership quickly.
