Drain Unblocking in Dorchester: What to Know
Your drain or the sewer?
If neighbours' drains are backing up too, the blockage is probably in a shared sewer. In Dorchester those belong to Wessex Water, which clears them free of charge. If only your property is affected, it's usually your own drain.
Blocked gully in the road?
Road gullies and surface water on public roads in Dorchester are the responsibility of Dorset Council. Report those to them directly.

Who's Responsible for Your Drain in Dorchester?
Your own drain
Pipes that serve only your property and sit inside your boundary are yours to maintain. Many home insurance policies cover accidental damage to them.
Shared drains & public sewers
Since October 2011, drains shared with neighbours or running beyond your boundary are usually public sewers. In Dorchester these belong to Wessex Water, so faults on them can be reported to Wessex Water free of charge.
Road drains & gullies
Dorset Council is responsible for road gullies and surface water on public roads in Dorchester.
New drains, soakaways & septic tanks
New drainage work needs Building Regulations approval through Dorset Council building control or a registered building control approver. Septic tanks and treatment plants must also meet the Environment Agency's general binding rules.
