Deddington and its ironstone villages, such as Adderbury, Bloxham and the Barfords, have drains shaped by centuries of building. Older homes may have original stone channels. Newer homes have modern pipes.
The engineer knows the local ironstone building style, so they check for old stone channels as well as modern pipe. Clearing methods then suit what lies under the ground. Both kinds of drain need care, because each fails in its own way.
Local tip: Mature village trees look lovely, but their roots can reach drains. If a large tree stands within five metres of a drain run, book a CCTV check each year.

A CCTV check shows which cause you have.
Keep fat, wipes and food scraps out of the sink and toilet, because they build up and set hard. Fit strainers over plugholes, while keeping outside gullies clear of leaves. Still, if a drain keeps blocking, a CCTV check can show whether the pipe itself is at fault.
