Who's Responsible for Blocked Drains in South Tyneside?

Are you a homeowner, tenant, or landlord in South Tyneside dealing with a blocked drain? It's essential to know who's responsible for clearing the blockage to avoid unnecessary costs and stress. At Clearing Blocked Drains Newcastle, we're here to help you understand the responsibilities and provide expert drainage services when you need them.

Understanding Drain Ownership and Responsibility

In the UK, the responsibility for maintaining and clearing blocked drains varies depending on the type of property and the location of the drain. Generally, homeowners are responsible for the drains within their property boundaries, while the local water authority, Northumbrian Water, is responsible for the public sewers. However, if you're a tenant, your landlord may be responsible for maintaining the drains, unless stated otherwise in your tenancy agreement.

Private Drains vs Public Sewers

Private drains are those that serve a single property, while public sewers are shared by multiple properties. If you have a private drain, you're responsible for maintaining and clearing blockages. However, if the blockage is in a public sewer, Northumbrian Water is responsible for clearing it. Our expert drainage team can help you determine who's responsible for your blocked drain and provide the necessary services to get your drains flowing freely again.

Preventing Blocked Drains

Prevention is the best way to avoid blocked drains. Regular maintenance, such as checking for signs of wear and tear, can help prevent blockages.
