Codmore sits on the quieter western fringe of Chesham, postcode HP5, around 3 miles from the town centre. It's a mixed patch, mostly 1930s and post-war semis alongside some older cottage-style stock, with a fair few larger detached properties on bigger plots. We get called out here regularly for blocked drains and slow-running waste pipes, and the older housing means the underground pipework is often original clay, which throws up its own problems.
We come in along the Chesham road from the west, and the character shifts quickly from town to semi-rural fringe. Properties here sit on generous plots with mature trees, and those root systems are a persistent headache for the drains. Older clay-jointed pipes are common, and once tree roots find a hairline crack in a joint, they don't stop. Shared sewer arrangements aren't unusual on the older streets either, which can make tracing a blockage more involved than it looks.

Codmore FAQ
Very likely, especially with clay pipework from the 1930s or 1950s. Clay pipes rely on tight push-fit joints, and as the ground shifts over decades those joints develop small gaps. Tree roots sense the moisture and grow straight into them. We run a CCTV camera down the drain to confirm it, and if roots are the problem we can clear them and discuss relining the affected section so it doesn't keep happening.
