Drainage in Redditch — what local engineers know
Redditch is served by Severn Trent Water and Redditch Council. Hard water from Severn Trent Water's supply causes mineral deposits around fill valves and flush mechanisms—a particular issue in Victorian properties across Redditch. The combined sewer system in older Redditch neighbourhoods increases the risk of blockages affecting toilet drainage, especially during wet weather. Modern developments in Redditch use separate systems, but older streets still rely on shared foul and surface water pipes, affecting how toilet waste is managed in Redditch.
- Hard water supply causes limescale accumulation in boilers, radiators and soil pipe joints — powerflush and descaling demand is high across Redditch
- Combined sewerage infrastructure — common in older parts of Redditch — means foul and surface water share the same pipe, increasing surcharge risk during heavy rainfall
- Large Victorian and Edwardian housing stock in Redditch means clay soil pipes and brick-built inspection chambers are common — CCTV surveys frequently reveal root ingress and joint displacement
- Parts of the Redditch area fall within Environment Agency flood alert areas along the River Arrow corridor — sewer surcharge during prolonged rainfall is a known risk; non-return valves are worth considering.

Who's responsible for drains in Redditch?
In Redditch, 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 Redditch.
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 combined sewer layout that dominates Redditch affects where these boundaries typically fall, and our local engineers know the B97, B98, B99 networks well enough to identify ownership quickly.
