Drains in Ealing: what our engineers see

Ealing earned the nickname 'Queen of the Suburbs' in the late nineteenth century, and many of the large Victorian and Edwardian houses from that era survive around Ealing Broadway, Ealing Common and Pitshanger. Their clay drains are now well over a hundred years old. Combine that with the borough's many mature street trees, and roots creeping into cracked joints is one of the faults we see most often on camera.

Further out, Greenford, Northolt, Perivale and parts of Hanwell and Southall were built up mainly in the 1920s and 1930s, with long rows of semis and terraces linked by shared drains. Plenty of these homes have since gained side returns, rear extensions or loft conversions, adding more bathrooms to the same old pipework. That extra load, plus any damage from building work, can lead to recurring blockages that a CCTV survey can explain.

Food is a big part of life on Ealing's high streets. Southall's restaurants and sweet shops, and the cafes and takeaways in Acton, West Ealing and Ealing Broadway, generate a lot of cooking oil, and grease poured down sinks hardens inside pipes. The River Brent also winds through Perivale, Greenford and Hanwell, so some low-lying homes nearby can see slower drainage during prolonged heavy rain. Park Royal's industrial estates complete a varied picture of drainage needs.

Why does my kitchen sink keep blocking in my Southall home?

Recurring kitchen sink blockages are usually caused by cooking oil, fat and food scraps building up inside the waste pipe and the drain outside. Pour cooled fat into a container and bin it rather than washing it away. We can clear the sink and jet the drain, and a camera check will show if there is any damage holding waste back.

I've added a loft bathroom to my 1930s semi in Greenford. Could that cause drain problems?

It can. Extra bathrooms send more waste into drains that were designed for one bathroom, and shared runs in 1930s houses may already have cracked or settled joints. If you notice slow drainage, gurgling or smells since the work, a CCTV survey will show whether the pipe needs cleaning, repair or simply a jet.

Who fixes a blocked sewer outside my house in Acton?

If the blockage is in the public sewer under the road, or in a drain shared with neighbours, it is generally Thames Water's responsibility and you can report it to them. The pipe serving only your property and within your boundary is usually yours to maintain. We can check on camera which section is blocked before any work starts.
