Responsibility for unblocking a drain depends on where the blockage is located:
Inside your property – The homeowner is responsible for any drainage problems within the boundaries of their property.
Shared drains – If the blockage affects multiple properties, responsibility usually falls on the local water authority.
Rented properties – Landlords are typically responsible for drain maintenance unless the blockage was caused by tenant misuse.
If you’re unsure whether the blockage is your responsibility, Unblockers.net can carry out a CCTV drain inspection to determine the issue and advise on the next steps.
