Nelson is a bustling Pendle town with a rich textile heritage, featuring extensive Victorian terraced housing built during the cotton industry boom. The town sits on rising ground between Burnley and Colne, with views towards Pendle Hill. Many properties feature original stone drainage systems with shared runs between adjoining terraces, which can complicate blockage diagnosis and clearance.
The local geology combines millstone grit with clay subsoils, which can affect ground drainage and make pipe movement more likely over time. Nelson's position on the slopes leading up to Pendle Hill means rainfall runoff can be significant, placing additional demands on the town's Victorian-era drainage infrastructure.
We attended a terraced property on Leeds Road in Nelson where the homeowner reported water backing up through the kitchen floor drain during heavy rain. Our investigation revealed a shared drainage run between four properties that had accumulated decades of grease and debris. We jetted the full length of the shared drain and cleared approximately 30 metres of heavily encrusted pipework, resolving the issue for all four properties.
