What drainage in Leicester actually looks like
Your water company
Severn Trent serves the East Midlands including Leicester. It's responsible for public sewers and the lateral drains beyond your boundary — including build-over agreements.
Who's responsible? →Local ground conditions
Leicester has clay pockets across the area, so soakaway viability varies. A percolation test is essential before any surface-water work.
Soakaway rules & costs →Local housing age
Leicester has a notable share of older terraced housing. Ageing clay drains are prone to cracks and root ingress — a CCTV survey pinpoints the cause.
Why drains keep blocking →When to book
Blockages spike in December–January as festive fat and wipes hit the sewers (Water UK). Autumn is the best time to survey — before winter rainfall raises the risk of flooding and backing up.
