What typically blocks drains in Fulham's older properties?
Fulham's Victorian terraces often experience blockages from tree root intrusion, particularly from the area's mature London plane trees. We frequently clear kitchen waste buildup in older drainage systems and address structural issues where original clay pipes have shifted or cracked. Modern Fulham developments typically face different challenges, mainly from inappropriate waste disposal and foreign object blockages.
Should I get a drain survey when buying property in Fulham?
Absolutely essential when purchasing in Fulham's competitive property market, especially for Victorian and Edwardian houses in SW6.

Who should I contact about main sewer problems affecting my Fulham property?
For main sewer issues in Fulham, contact Thames Water as they manage the public sewerage system across SW6. However, if you're unsure whether the problem lies with private drains or public sewers, call us first on 020 7870 3205. We can quickly diagnose the issue using CCTV surveys and liaise with Thames Water if necessary.
Why do Fulham properties near the Thames experience more drainage issues?
Properties in lower-lying areas of Fulham, particularly those closer to the Thames, face increased drainage challenges from higher groundwater levels and occasional tidal influences. The clay soil common throughout SW6 can shift seasonally, affecting drainage pipes. We've developed specific expertise handling these riverside drainage complexities, using specialised equipment suitable for Fulham's unique geographic conditions.
