Rossendale is a scenic valley borough between Burnley and Bury, encompassing the towns of Rawtenstall, Haslingden, Bacup, and surrounding communities. The valley setting means properties often sit on sloping ground with drainage systems that follow the natural fall of the terrain. This steep topography can cause high flow velocities that erode older pipework.
The valley is known for its stone-built mill workers' cottages and terraced housing, many with original drainage systems dating from the industrial era. The narrow valley floor and surrounding moorland create unique drainage challenges, with significant rainfall runoff from the hillsides feeding into the urban drainage network. Properties at lower elevations in the valley are particularly susceptible to drainage issues during heavy rain.
A homeowner in Waterfoot, Rossendale, called us about sewage backing up into their cellar during heavy rain. Our CCTV survey revealed a partially collapsed stone drain beneath the rear yard that was restricting flow during peak rainfall. We excavated and replaced the damaged section with modern PVC pipework and fitted a non-return valve to prevent future backflow. The cellar has remained dry since the repair.
Catching a blocked drain early can save you hundreds of pounds in emergency repairs. Here are the key warning signs every Burnley homeowner should know.

The steep valley sides and narrow valley floor create unique drainage challenges in Rossendale. Heavy rainfall runs off the surrounding moorland and feeds into urban drains, which can overwhelm older systems. Properties at lower elevations may experience more frequent drainage issues during wet weather.
