Old Basing is a historic village just east of Basingstoke town centre, known for the ruins of Basing House, once the largest private house in England. The village has a wealth of period properties, many dating back several centuries, alongside modern housing developments.
The older properties in Old Basing typically have traditional clay drainage systems that require specialist knowledge to maintain. The proximity to the River Loddon means groundwater levels can be elevated, particularly during winter months, which increases the risk of infiltration into damaged drainage systems. The area's history means that some properties have complex drainage layouts that have been modified and extended over many decades.
We were called to a period property in Old Basing where the homeowner reported slow drainage throughout the house. Our CCTV survey revealed that the original clay drainage system had multiple displaced joints allowing groundwater from the nearby River Loddon to infiltrate the system. We carried out targeted patch repairs at each affected joint, sealing out the groundwater without the need for full excavation, and restoring normal drainage flow throughout the property.
Catching a blocked drain early can save you hundreds of pounds in emergency repairs. Here are the key warning signs every Basingstoke homeowner should know.
