Reading has a mix of Victorian terraces, riverside homes, and modern estates, each with different drainage challenges:
Properties near the River Thames and Kennet often deal with excess water saturating the ground, putting pressure on drainage systems and making blockages more frequent.
The clay-rich soil in Reading and the wider Berkshire area expands in wet weather and shrinks during dry spells. This constant movement puts stress on underground pipes, often causing cracks, leaks, and recurring blockages.
Large trees in areas like Caversham Heights, Tilehurst, and Sonning spread deep roots that naturally seek moisture. Over time, they can break into clay and plastic pipes, leading to persistent blockages and costly repairs.
Many Victorian terraces near central Reading still rely on outdated drainage networks. Narrow-bore pipes that were never designed for modern use frequently struggle with today’s water loads, causing regular blockages.
Developments such as Green Park Village, Kennet Island, and Shinfield often share drainage infrastructure. A blockage in one property can quickly spread across several homes, creating large-scale drainage issues for residents.
Older clay and concrete drains are still common across Berkshire. When they deteriorate, cracks allow soil or debris to enter the system. Combined with heavy rainfall, this often leads to flooding in gardens and streets.
If you notice any of these in your Reading property, it’s best to act quickly before the problem gets worse.
