problem with drain - any advice? (cross-post)

    Hi,

    cross postin this from plumbing forum - hope thats OK.

    I have an ongoing problem with a drain which I hope to resolve while getting an extension onto house next year but want to look at all options now.

    I'm just looking for advice on best approach.

    House is at the head of 6 or so (not entirely sure) houses which then goes out onto the main line. No line runs in front of my house to which I can connect. Would be about 20M away from driveway.

    I suspect that there are a few different problems with the drain. Firstly, it can get blocked at my house. I can clear this locally. I can get this resolved easily enough when getting work done as suspect the fall isn't sufficient.

    But it can also get blocked further down the line.

    I plan to get a CCTV drain survey done to inspect the drain from my house up to the road to determine where the problem may lie (-snip-

    If problem is obvious, will take it from there. Obviously will depend on neighbours being up for it. Best case scenario I'm thinking there is a damaged drain lying under someones garden - worst case it is under an extension?

    Alternatively, I could look at connecting to the main sewer - would this be prohibitively expensive as would have to involve the council?


    Thanks..
