Regular drain problems.


Your question is awaiting moderation by the MyJobQuote team.

Would you buy a rented property that has regular drain problems? Lived in the house just over a year and a half. In that time waste has overflowed from my guttering overflow drain approx 7/8 times. The man hole is regular blocked up. I am the last house at the end of the chain so my two neighbours waste is backing up regularly into my drain. someone out today who did a lime scale clean & said there were some roots that they’ve cleared that possibly could have caused issues but did mention when he lifted the man hole cover it was blocked again up to my neighbours drain. neighbours don’t seem to care because they know it backs down to mine and will just overflow.I’m so overwhelmed and fed up and has affected me settling into the home. I’m so paranoid as to when the next time the drains will overflow. I can’t see how it will be fixed? I would have liked to buy the house in the future but the regular occurrence of problems has completely put me off.
