Shared Drains in Blackburn, West Lothian
Call 07427 195142A lot of Blackburn's housing stock shares rear drainage runs, so a blockage in one property often shows first in the house next door. Working out which length of pipe is actually blocked is the key part of most Blackburn jobs.
Post-war terraces
The post-war terraces sit on shared runs where one blockage can affect several homes. We lift the right chamber, clear the shared length and test the flow from each connection so everyone knows it is running again.
Knowing who is responsible
Shared private drainage is usually a joint responsibility, while the public sewer is Scottish Water's. Filming the run shows exactly where the blockage or defect sits, which settles the question fairly between neighbours.
Small infill and units
Newer infill housing and units off Blackburn Road generally have modern pipework, where problems tend to be what has been flushed or poured away rather than the pipe itself.
My neighbour's drain is overflowing too. What now?
That usually means a shared run is blocked. We clear it at the chamber and can film the whole length.
Do you charge to come out?
No, there is no call-out charge at any time of day.
