Sherborne St John is a quiet village just north of Basingstoke, known for being home to The Vyne, a National Trust property. The village has a small number of period properties alongside more modern housing. Drainage systems in the area range from traditional clay pipes in older properties to modern plastic installations in newer builds.
The village sits on chalk and clay-with-flints geology, which can cause localised ground movement affecting older drainage connections. The rural character of the village means some properties have longer drainage runs to reach the public sewer network, which can be more susceptible to blockages and root ingress.
We attended a property in Sherborne St John where the homeowner reported that their outside drain was overflowing every few weeks. Our CCTV survey revealed a significant build-up of fat and grease in the drainage run, combined with a partial collapse where the pipe passed beneath a garden path. We cleared the blockage with jetting and replaced the collapsed section, resolving the recurring problem.
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.
