Local Knowledge
Drainage In Derby: What We Know
Storm Babet in October 2023 brought the highest River Derwent level on record in Derby, and £35m was secured for the next phase of the city's Our City Our River flood defences in February 2025. Derby City Council says its Derby Riverside works protect about 1,200 properties, with around 670 more to follow.
The Markeaton Brook flood of May 1932 led to a relief culvert being built in 1938. Much of the city sits on Mercia Mudstone, a clay that drains slowly and shrinks and swells with the seasons — hard on older rigid clay drains, and a poor bet for soakaways without a percolation test.
Normanton and Pear Tree have dense Victorian terraced streets, where rear drains are often shared and a blockage in the shared section is normally Severn Trent's to clear.
Who Is Responsible For Drains In Derby?
Severn Trent Water owns the public sewers in Derby, plus any drain you share with neighbours or that runs beyond your boundary. Report a problem with those on 0800 783 4444 (24 hours) or online.
Drains that serve only your property and sit inside your boundary are your responsibility — that's the work we do. Road gullies are Derby City Council's. If you rent, your landlord is normally responsible for the drains.

Still Have Questions About Your Drains?
Our engineers are happy to talk you through the problem, the likely fix and the price before you book — no obligation.
For drains and sewers, Derby is Severn Trent Water. Severn Trent looks after the public sewers and any drain you share with neighbours or that runs beyond your boundary — report problems with those on 0800 783 4444 (24 hours). Drains that serve only your property and sit inside your boundary are your responsibility — and that's the work we do.
Road gullies belong to the highway authority, which in Derby is Derby City Council. Report a blocked or flooding road drain on the council's website. Gullies, channels and manholes inside your own boundary are private, and we can clear those for you.
No — there's no call-out fee, even though Derby is around 55 minutes from our Southwell base. Prices are the same as closer to home and agreed before work starts. Planned work is best booked ahead; same-day emergency visits depend on engineer availability, so call 07300 600 950 first.
No — we're based in Southwell, Nottinghamshire, and cover Derby from there, so there's no local office to visit. Our engineers come to you with the same prices and no call-out fee.
Yes. A pre-purchase CCTV survey shows the condition of the drains before you exchange — see CCTV drain surveys in Derby and our homebuyer drain survey page.
