Local Knowledge
Drainage In Leicester: What We Know
Storm Henk on 2 January 2024 led to 160 reports of internal flooding in Leicester, mostly from the River Soar in Abbey and Belgrave wards, according to Leicester City Council. The city's Soar flood scheme protects about 4,700 properties.
South Highfields is a conservation area of two-storey red-brick terraces, and Clarendon Park was built up quickly in the 1870s and 1880s. Streets like these usually have shared rear drains, which have been Severn Trent's responsibility since 2011.
Much of Leicester sits on Mercia Mudstone, a clay that shrinks and swells and can attack concrete with sulphates, according to the British Geological Survey — tough on old rigid pipes, and a reason to test before relying on a soakaway.
Who Is Responsible For Drains In Leicester?
Severn Trent Water owns the public sewers in Leicester, 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 Leicester 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, Leicester 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 Leicester is Leicester 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 Leicester 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.
Yes — Oadby, Wigston, Braunstone Town, Glenfield, Birstall, Syston and Thurmaston are all covered. Road gullies there are Leicestershire County Council's rather than Leicester City Council's, but the sewers are Severn Trent's either way.
All of them. For local detail see blocked drains in Leicester, CCTV drain surveys in Leicester, drain repairs in Leicester and gutter cleaning in Leicester.
