Plumbing in Easton

Easton is a densely built inner-city area east of the centre, made up mostly of Victorian terraced streets. St Marks Road is its well-known high street, and the Bristol and Bath Railway Path runs through on its way out of the city.

Victorian terraces share a lot of plumbing features. Drains often run behind or under several houses. Kitchens and bathrooms sit in back additions that have been rebuilt more than once. Some homes may still have lead in the supply pipe, which Bristol Water says is possible in homes built before the 1970s. Many houses are rented, and some are divided into flats.

Common Easton jobs

• Blocked drains and gullies behind terraced houses
• Leaks under back-addition kitchens and bathrooms
• Replacing old lead or iron supply pipework
• Running toilets and dripping taps
• Radiators and heating pipework

Is it your drain or the sewer?

In terraced streets, drains often join up. Since 2011, shared sections and lateral drains belong to Wessex Water. If neighbours are blocked too, call them first.
