A blocked drain announces itself: toilets that will not clear, gullies backing up in the yard, that unmistakable smell. Most blockages are caused by the usual suspects, fat and grease, wipes, roots that have found a joint, or a pipe defect that has finally caught enough debris to close the bore.

Bridgnorth’s split-level geography gives its drains character: High Town’s older properties drain through pipework that has been patched and extended for generations, and the drops between High Town and Low Town mean steep runs where debris accelerates and lodges. Out in the villages the usual rural pattern holds — roots, fat and long private runs. Jetting handles all of it, with pressure chosen for the age of the pipe rather than the stubbornness of the blockage.

The farmland around Bridgnorth carries a dense scatter of off-mains properties: farmhouses, estate cottages and converted barns, many with systems dating back decades. Villages such as Worfield, Claverley and Ditton Priors have significant unsewered areas, and riverside properties towards Highley add their own complications.
