Hi all.
broken drains.
The drain repair company began work yesterday and what they say is
usually a
2 or 3 day job to fix these problems is going to take maybe 5 days.
They've already dug a hole about 4ft square and 12 feet deep and need to
dig
plenty more. The updates they've given me, describe the pipework beyond
the back door of my yard
as very poor and loosely connected.
The law seems to say that the pipework up until it reaches the main sewer
is my responsibilty.

But it can't be fair for a home owner to be held responsible for pipework
that is 8 or 10 feet below ground level
beneath layers of concrete!

Has anyone had any experience of insurance claims is situations like
this/

thanks.

Arthur.

If your house was built before 1st October 1937 the
sewer system is the responsibility of the water/sewage
undertaker.



JOOI where does the demarcation line lay, at the boundary of your
property as shown on the deeds I presume?...
