About West London Drainage
West London includes some of the capital's most substantial properties, with correspondingly high expectations for service quality. Many homes have extensive grounds with long drainage runs to the main sewer, and the scale of these systems means problems can be harder to locate without proper equipment.
The proximity to the Thames in many West London areas creates specific challenges. Properties near the river can experience drainage issues during high tides and storm events when the sewer system becomes overloaded.
Common Issues We See in West London
Riverside properties in Chiswick and Barnes face flooding risks during high tides, especially when combined with heavy rainfall. Adequate drainage and pump systems are essential for these properties, and regular maintenance prevents emergency situations.
Tree root damage is common in Kew and Richmond where mature gardens meet ageing clay pipes. The large trees typical of these areas have extensive root systems that actively seek out water sources, making them a constant threat to drainage infrastructure.
Edwardian properties in Ealing and Acton often have long garden drainage runs that have settled or shifted over the decades. These can develop low spots where debris accumulates, causing recurring blockages.
