Drain Jetting in Pulborough
Pulborough's HMOs, holiday lets, and commercial kitchens demand regular drain maintenance — not emergency callouts after blockages close down a kitchen or flood a hallway. The town's separate sewer system (operating across RH20, RH21, RH22, RH23) requires particular attention: surface water and foul drains share the street network, and tenant misuse compounds the risk. Scheduled drain maintenance in Pulborough keeps Horsham properties flowing.
Drain maintenance in Pulborough includes scheduled rodding, grease trap flushing, and debris clearance for landlords and commercial operators. Pulborough's separate sewer system and older properties make routine care essential to prevent blockages and compliance breaches.
Drainage in Pulborough — what local engineers know
Pulborough landlords and business operators sit within the Horsham district under Southern Water sewerage regulations. The town's dense rental and commercial quarters (particularly around the high street and converted Victorian properties) generate high drain load: multiple tenancies, kitchen waste, and seasonal tourism traffic. Pulborough's separate sewer system creates a compliance hazard — misconnected appliances and debris overload surface drains. Routine maintenance contracts identify blockage risks, clear accumulated grease and sediment, and protect rental income by preventing emergency failures.
- Hard water supply causes limescale accumulation in boilers, radiators and soil pipe joints — powerflush and descaling demand is high across Pulborough
- Separate sewer system across most of Pulborough: misconnections (e.g. washing machines plumbed into surface water drains) are a known local issue and can result in environmental enforcement action
- 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.
- Pulborough has Environment Agency flood warning areas nearby along the River Arun 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 Pulborough?
In Pulborough, 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, Southern 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 Horsham.
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 Southern Water rather than paying for the repair yourself. The separate sewer layout that dominates Pulborough affects where these boundaries typically fall, and our local engineers know the RH20, RH21, RH22 networks well enough to identify ownership quickly.
