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.

Blocked drains in Broseley run steep and old: the town’s pipework matches its Jacobean and Victorian building stock, and runs dropping towards Jackfield and the river fall hard, moving debris fast until a bend or a fracture stops it. Fragile old pipes on moving clay ground fracture and displace, catching what the gradient delivers. Jetting clears them with pressure suited to their age, and on these slopes a repeat blockage is nearly always a defect announcing itself — worth a camera before the next one.

Off-mains properties cluster on the gorge slopes and across the farmland south of town, from cottages below Benthall Edge to farms towards Willey. Many gorge-side systems are as old as the houses they serve, squeezed into plots that were never designed with a tanker in mind.
