Common Drain Problems in Older Homes Across Gloucestershire
Cotswold Drain Services Ltd

Gloucestershire is home to a large number of older and period properties, particularly throughout the Cotswolds and surrounding towns and villages. While these properties have character, their drainage systems often require specialist care.
We regularly attend properties across Gloucestershire dealing with:
- Cracked or collapsed underground pipes caused by ground movement
- Tree roots entering older drainage systems
- Narrow or outdated pipework that blocks more easily
- Septic tanks that require regular emptying and maintenance
Many older drainage systems were not designed for modern water usage, making them more susceptible to blockages and wear over time.
CCTV drain surveys are an effective way to identify hidden issues and plan repairs before problems escalate. Routine inspections and maintenance can significantly extend the lifespan of older pipework.
Cotswold Drain Service has extensive experience working with older homes throughout Gloucestershire, providing practical and long-lasting drainage solutions.
