progress

It is now looking like the drain is nearly fixed. It's 4pm and they have been working on it since 8 this morning.... a long day!! We have had half of the yard dug up, (or so it seems,) rods and water down the pipes, but they seem to have solved the problem!! If ever you have a problem with your drains, even just outside your property boundaries, don't bother to phone United Utilities, they're not interested. Apparently it is our responsibility to maintain our drains up to where they join the main sewer, which is under the middle of the back street. Quite how you can maintain that bit without digging up the back street, which of course you can't do, is beyond me!! But they seem to think it's completely logical!! But anyway, new bits of drain are in place, along with concrete, lead and all sorts of other interesting bits!! Hoping we're getting there now as i would really like to be able to have a shower without the water regurgitating itself up the drain and down the yard!!!
