Drains in Chelmsford
Chelmsford has a real mix of drains. The Victorian and Edwardian terraces around Moulsham and the town centre often still have their original clay pipes, where joints shift over time and tree roots find their way in. The newer estates, such as Beaulieu and Channels, have plastic pipework that rarely cracks but still blocks with wipes, fat and grease.
If you're buying an older house in Chelmsford, a CCTV drain survey before you exchange tells you whether the drains are sound or need work, so you can factor it into the price.
Is it your drain, or Anglian Water's?
In Chelmsford, the public sewers belong to Anglian Water. Since 2011, shared drains and sewers outside your property boundary have been the water company's to clear, free of charge. If your neighbours have the same problem, or the blockage is past your boundary, it's probably theirs: report it to Anglian Water on 03457 145 145. If we come out and find the problem is on the public side, we stop and tell you, and you only pay any diagnostic charge shown on your quote.
