Watching a program on tv the other night about blocked drains I felt sorry for the poor chap who had to call in a firm of drain clearers only to discover to his horror that the problem was not on his property but out on a busy main road where his outfall connected to the main sewer.Surely the remedial costs should not have fallen on the householder,as in this case(it was a collapsed pipe under the road)the problem was caused by heavy traffic on the road?
